What to Know About HIV and COVID-19
People with HIV may have concerns and

questions about COVID-19, including the risk of
serious illness and vaccine safety. CDC will
continue to provide updated information as it
becomes available.
Are people with HIV at higher risk for COVID
-19 than other people?

We are still learning about COVID-19 and how
it affects people with HIV. Based on what we know
at this time, people with HIV may be more likely to
become severely ill from COVID-19.

Other factors can also make you more likely to
become severely ill, such as age and certain underlying medical conditions. Older adults, people
with certain medical conditions, and pregnant and recently pregnant people should
take preventive actions (including getting vaccinated, wearing a mask, and practicing physical
distancing) to protect themselves from getting COVID-19.
Are COVID-19 vaccines safe for people with HIV?

HIV were included in clinical trialsexternal iconexternal icon. COVID-19 vaccines have gone through

Building Back
Better: toward a
disability-inclusive,
accessible and
sustainable post
COVID-19 World

Disability inclusion is an essential condition to upholding human rights, sustainable development,
and peace and security. It is also central to the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development to leave no one behind. The commitment to realizing the rights of persons with
disabilities is not only a matter of justice; it is an investment in a common future.

The global crisis of COVID-19 is deepening pre-existing inequalities, exposing the extent of
exclusion and highlighting that work on disability inclusion is imperative. People with disabilities—
one billion people— are one of the most excluded groups in our society and are among the
hardest hit in this crisis in terms of fatalities.

Even under normal circumstances, persons with disabilities are less likely to access health
care, education, employment and to participate in the community. An integrated approach is
required to ensure that persons with disabilities are not left behind.

Disability inclusion will result in a COVID19 response and recovery that better serves
everyone, more fully suppressing the virus, as well as building back better. It will provide for
more agile systems capable of responding to complex situations, reaching the furthest behind
first.

This year, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) falls on the same week as
the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, 30
Nov.-1 and 3 Dec. 2020 and will be observed throughout the week in conjunction with the 13th
session of the Conference of States Parties to the CRPD.

Human Rights Day

10th December

Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December – the day on which the
United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights empowers us all. The principles enshrined
in the Declaration are as relevant today as they were in 1948. We need to stand up for our
own rights and those of others. We can take action in our own daily lives, to uphold the rights
that protect us all and thereby promote the kinship of all human beings.

In December 1948, UNESCO was the first United Nations agency to place the Universal
Declaration at the heart of all its action, to promote it
across the world through education and the media.

Human rights gain new meaning
when they become a reality in the daily
life of every single person in the world.
Bringing human rights home is at the
core of UNESCO’s mission in all its
fields of competence – education,
science, culture and communication. In
the context of the commemoration of the
70th anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR),
UNESCO brings to the fore the centrality
of human rights protection in the history
and the mandate of the Organization. 

Shri Narendra Modi Ji
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India
New Delhi

Subject: Consensus Statement of Members of INDIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION Tamil
Nadu State Branch doctors regarding exclusion of medical professionals from the Consumer
Protection Act (CPA)

——————————————————————

Respected Sir

The Consumer Protection Bill, 1986 was passed by both the Houses of Parliament and it
received the assent of the President on 24th December 1986. It came on the Statutes Book as THE
CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, 1986 (68 of 1986). The Legislature while drafting the Bill,
1986 had specifically not included the services provided by the medical professionals in the term of
services. Also, there is no mention of medical professionals, doctors, etc. anyplace in the Consumer
Protection Act, 1986.

The fact that there is a distinction between a profession and an occupation was the main
reason for not including the medical professionals under the purview of Consumer Protection
Act,1986. A person engaged in an occupation renders service, which falls within the ambit of
Section 2(1)(o) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986; however, the service rendered by a person
belonging to a profession does not fall within the ambit of the said provision.

Accordingly, medical practitioners who belong to the medical profession are not covered under
the Consumer Protection Act.

But, in the matter of “Indian Medical Association versus V P Shantha, AIR 1996 SC
550,

the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India held that the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 is applicable to
services rendered by doctors and hospitals. The Apex Court also held that the services rendered to
a patient by a medical professional are “service” within the meaning of the Consumer Protection

November 2021 TIMA News Letter 28

Act, 1986 and the persons who hire or avail such services are therefore, consumers as defined
under the Act with the exception that where the doctor / hospital renders service free of charge to
every patient or under a contract of personal service, a patient availing of such free of charge
services will not be a consumer.

Consumer Protection Act, 2019: The Consumer Protection Bill, 2019 has been passed by both
Houses of Parliament i.e. Lok Sabha (30th July 2019) and Rajya Sabha (6th August 2019). Thus, a
new law on consumer protection has been enacted i.e. the ConsumerProtection Act, 2019. The
new act does not include services rendered by medical professionals.

Earlier, when amendments to the Consumer Protection Act were introduced in 2015, there
was no mention of “healthcare” in the list of examples of as to what constitutes
“service”. The Bill said “service” means service of any description made available to potential
users and includes, but is not limited to, the provision of facilities relating to banking, financing,
insurance, transport, processing, supply of electrical or other energy, telecom, board or lodging or
both, housing construction, entertainment, amusement or the purveying of news or other information.
It does not include the rendering of any service free of charge or under a contract of personal
service.

The Bill had gone through the parliamentary committee. But in 2019, when the new Consumer
Protection Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha, “healthcare” was included in the list after
telecom.But later “Healthcare” was removed from the list of services which had been specifically
mentioned earlier under the definition of services in the draft Consumer Protection Bill.

Now, in the new Act of 2019, the terms “medical profession”, “Healthcare”, “doctors”,etc. are
not mentioned.

Legislative intent

While enacting both the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 and Consumer Protection Act, 2019,
the draftsmen of the Legislature had specifically and intentionally not included the services rendered
by medical professionals. In 2019, when the new bill was presented, the term “healthcare” was
included in the draft of the Consumer Protection Bill; however, the same was later removed from
the Bill.

Even though, the landmark precedents as laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India
cover the medical profession/healthcare under the purview of Consumer Protection Act, the
Legislature never intended to cover the services rendered by the medical professionals under
Consumer Protection Act.It is also to mention that medical professional services are not covered
under GST.

Lawyers do not come under the purview of Consumer Protection Act

In the matter titled as “D. K. Gandhi versus M. Mathias”, the State Commission
of Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Delhi, held that services rendered by a Lawyer
would not come within the ambit of Section 2(1)(o) of the Consumer Protection Act,1986, as the
client executes the power of attorney authorizing the Counsel to do certain acts on hisbehalf and
there is no term of contract as to the liability of the lawyer in case he fails to do any such act. The
State Commission held that it is a unilateral contract executed by the client giving authority to the
lawyer to appear and represent the matter on his behalf withoutt any specific assurance or
undertaking.

November 2021 TIMA News Letter 29

However, this verdict of the State Commission was reversed by the National ConsumerDisputes
Redressal Commission (NCDRC) in the Revision Petition titled as D. K. Gandhi versus M.
Mathias on the ground that lawyers are rendering a service. They are charging fees. It is not a
contract of personal service and that there was no reason to hold that they are not covered by the
provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. It was held that though a Lawyer may not be
responsible for the favourable outcome of a case as the result/outcome does not depend upon only
on lawyers’ work, but, if there was deficiency in rendering servicespromised, for which consideration
in the form of fee is received by him, then the lawyers can be proceeded against under the Consumer
Protection Act.

However, the said judgement of the NCDRC has now been stayed by the Hon’ble Supreme
Court in the matter titled as “Bar of Indian Lawyers vs. D. K. Gandhi”. The said case is still
pending adjudication before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

Thus, the question whether the lawyers are covered under the Consumer Protection Act or not
is still pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. However, as on date, the lawyers do
not come under the purview of Consumer Protection Act.
Appeal
Tamil Nadu Indian Medical Association Doctors’ requests you to intervene so that
the medical professionals are included in the exclusion list of the services under
Consumer Protection Act.
