The Supreme Court directed States to consider creating guidelines to prevent exploitation by private hospitals.
The guidelines would focus on stopping patients from being forced to buy overpriced medicines and medical devices from hospital pharmacies.
The court cautioned States not to create strict regulations that could discourage private investment in healthcare.
Health-related issues are under the jurisdiction of individual States, so the court advised them to consider their constitutional framework when making decisions.
The court concluded by highlighting the importance of not imposing policies that could harm the establishment of private hospitals.
