Q2. Describe accountability in healthcare. Add

Answer. Accountability: A medical practitioner owes the patient he is
treating a duty of care and is hence, accountable to the patient firstly.
Therefore in cases of medical negligence, the patient has to establish that
there was sufficient proximity between him and the doctor. This duty of care is
established once a doctor starts to administer treatment to the patient
irrespective of remunerations. This duty of care is also owed to the patient y
the hospital or treating institution, thereby making the hospital accountable
to the patient by what is termed as vicarious liability.

Q5. Explain the regulatory requirements in
setting up and running a blood bank.
Answer. Blood
transfusion service is a multibillion dollar profession/ business worldwide.
Being Indian blood bank personnel, we may not like to call it as business. But
in the real sense, it is a production industry with all the components of
business built into it. Still, we will not like to call it a business because
of the fear in our minds that our general population or blood donors will be
annoyed with us and may not come to donate again. Many a times, we do not
clarify to the donor at the time of donation that there is service charge for
blood units. As a result, when the donor needs blood, it comes as a rude shock
and he makes allegations of the ‘sale’ of blood. At that
