Delhi HC refuses to intervene in Sonam Wangchuk’s treatment at Safdarjung Hospital

The Delhi High Court today refused to intervene in activist Sonam Wangchuk’s treatment at Safdarjung Hospital, saying the government’s decision to move him from Jantar Mantar to the hospital could not be termed arbitrary. Justice Mini Pushkarna said no immediate order was needed to shift Wangchuk to a private facility, while noting that doctors were monitoring his condition and had provided treatment with his consent.

The court was hearing a plea by Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo, seeking his transfer to a private hospital. It issued notices to the Centre, Safdarjung Hospital and Delhi Police, asking for responses within three days. Wangchuk was moved to Safdarjung Hospital by police yesterday on the 21st day of his hunger strike.

Dr Singh said, at present, the country faces not merely a lack of awareness but also the challenge of widespread health misinformation. He called for greater scientific awareness so that citizens rely on evidence-based medical advice while making decisions related to their health. He said, the country’s scientific ecosystem is steadily delivering world-class healthcare solutions suited to Indian conditions, while making cutting-edge treatments more affordable and accessible. The Minister noted that these efforts are helping India emerge as an important global destination for affordable healthcare innovation and bio-manufacturing.

The Olympiad commenced on 12th of July and concluded today. The Department of Atomic Energy said that there were 307 students from 78 countries in this year’s IBO.
