hello..this is worst act as far as doctors are concerned.No doubt it will reduce sex determination but act has certain defects needs to be cured.the punishment of three years is imposed for defects in maintaining records under PNDT act this is not justice to doctors as doctor is person and to make a error is human being then the doctor shouldnt be punished for such small thing i.e defects in filling the forms or maintaining records.The act aims at controlling the sex determination.hence punishment of three years is ok for sex determination.secondly ,the raid shouldnt be allowed without taking confidential permission from health department and after satisfaction of necessity of raid the appropriate authority should conduct the raid.The appropriate authority must have one legal expert to advise.more to write but next time friends....from :umesh A.Shinde advocate satara mo.9822637138

From Anil Chavan,

I may suggest following provision for betterment of personal and public health environment;
1. The Central/state government should set up a human health regulatory authority such as CERC / SERC (Central / state electricity regulatory commision) and its fuctionaries at bottom level (obudsman at state level and cosumer grievences redressal forum at district level) and local health grievences at Tahsil level.
This will more helpful to implemets the rules and regulation with the participation of patients, local elected body, interested person and social organisation. Also it would give the feedback to the respective Governments� authorities and legislature authories to frame and review the health National policy to save public revenue and personal money of patients
2. Health literacy education programme should be chartout for the schools, colleges and out of school to all ages public
