The Haryana government has released guidelines for withdrawing life support and announced the creation of medical boards to oversee the process.
The Haryana government today unveiled a set of guidelines governing the withdrawal of life support for patients in critical condition. The guidelines aim to provide a clear framework for medical professionals, families, and legal authorities when making end‑of‑life decisions.
Alongside the guidelines, the state has announced the establishment of dedicated medical boards. These boards will review cases, ensure compliance with the new rules, and offer recommendations to hospitals and clinicians.
The move follows growing concerns about ethical practices in critical care and seeks to standardise procedures across the state’s healthcare institutions.
