About NLS Bangalore Project
The project aims to create a compendium of edited cases and materials on Public Health and the Indian Constitution. It entails a survey of leading cases from Supreme Court of India and State High Courts on various public health themes including access to medicines, availability and affordability of healthcare services, discrimination in access to healthcare facilities, compulsory vaccinations, digitization and privacy concerns, nutrition support, control of harmful substances and prohibition of their advertisements of harmful substances, regulation of drugs and medical devices, regulation of professions, compulsory bonds, impact of emerging technologies, rare diseases and the extent of state responsibility.
The broader domain of analysis is the constitutional framework within which the duties, powers and limitations of the Government on public health are debated and scrutinised by the Courts.
The project entails desk research, literature review and documentation of relevant materials. A workshop is also conceived as a part of the project to receive critical feedback on the methods, research output and structure of the compendium.
The compendium will be published in an open access format with a reputed publisher.
