Structured into 34 chapters across four sections, the manual explores foundational legal principles, India&rsquo;s healthcare laws, doctor&ndash;patient relationships, and emerging issues like artificial intelligence, surrogacy, and end-of-life decisions. The authors integrate case studies, judicial analyses, and practical frameworks to equip readers with the tools to make ethical decisions and reduce legal risks in healthcare practice.
Aligned with postgraduate curricula from institutions such as NFSU Gandhinagar, NLSIU Bangalore, and NLU Delhi, this India-centric text also offers a global perspective on medical jurisprudence and patient safety.
Speaking on the book&rsquo;s purpose, Dr. Gupta said, &ldquo;Our aim was to create a resource that helps medical and legal professionals understand their responsibilities, protect patients&rsquo; rights, and uphold ethical integrity.&rdquo;
Dr. Geeta Gupta added, &ldquo;By merging legal insight with scientific reasoning, we wanted to build a practical guide that resonates with today&rsquo;s healthcare realities.&rdquo;
Available on Amazon and Ukiyoto Publishing, the manual is already being lauded by educators and practitioners as a benchmark in medicolegal education.
