High Court Orders Clear Prescriptions for Patient Safety

High Court Orders Clear Prescriptions for Patient Safety

A court in India said that doctors must write their prescriptions clearly.

This is because it is very important for people to understand their medicines and stay safe.

The court said that people have a right to clear prescriptions.

This started after a judge couldn't read a doctor's report.

The court wants doctors to use big, clear letters for now.

They are also planning to use computers to write prescriptions in the future.

The Indian Medical Association supports this.

They are working on ways to help doctors write better prescriptions, especially in busy places.
