Health Department considers changes to deceased body transfer rules in Bengaluru

The Health Department is considering changes to the rules regarding the transfer of deceased bodies from private hospitals. Health Minister U.T. Khadar stated that the current rule requires families to pay a fixed amount before receiving the body. He noted that this practice causes a burden on economically distressed families. The department plans to discuss this with private hospitals and the Nursing Homes Association (FANA) to formulate a new law.
