SC agrees to hear plea for full implementation of Allied Healthcare Act





The Supreme Court has decided to examine a Public Interest Litigation seeking the enforcement of the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021, aimed at supporting allied health workers.

During a hearing this week, the Supreme Court took up a PIL filed by the Indian Association of Physiotherapists demanding stronger implementation of the NCAHP Act. The Act seeks to regulate allied health professions like physiotherapy, radiology, and more. The court’s decision to review signals greater focus on healthcare infrastructure and workforce accountability.
