Chandigarh: The Director General of Health Services (DGHS), Haryana, has issued a directive mandating that all medical diagnosis and prescriptions be written in capital or bold letters. The directive applies to all registered medical practitioners across government and private hospitals, clinics, and health centres across the state. Medical Dialogues had previously reported that observing that legible medical prescriptions and diagnosis form an essential part of a patient’s right to health under Article 21 of the Constitution, the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed doctors to write prescriptions and diagnosis notes in capital letters until computerisation or typed prescriptions become the norm. In response, the Haryana Health Department has acted swiftly, mandating that doctors must write prescriptions only in capital or bold letters to remove ambiguity and enhance clarity.
