RULES & BYE LAWS

I. Preamble

II. Aims & Objectives

III. Eligibility

IV. Jurisdiction

V. Membership

VI. Management of the NPP scheme

VII. Election of the office bearers of the scheme

VIII. Accounts

The Indian Medical Association was established to safeguard the interest of the Medical Profession and health of the public, by organising the Medical Practitioners in a systematic way, promoting the advancement of Medical and related sciences and maintaining honor, dignity and discipline.

Ultimately all the efforts of IMA are to lead the public to get the best from the Medical Practitioners whom they approach, at the apt time and with minimum cost. Unfortunately it is now found that the Medical Practitioners are drawn into litigation on death or other calamities occurring during the treatment for no fault of theirs. Moreover many members have expressed a fear that unless some measures were taken to safeguard their interests in such matters, they have to be selective in treatment, or start treatment only after various types of tests. This will ultimately cause delay in treatment and increase the cost of treatment. To avoid such calamity, in the best interests of the sick public, the IMA has decided to take the responsibility of protecting the doctors in litigations, provided they too financially contribute something for this cause, and for that purpose the National Professional Protection Scheme is established.

1. To protect the members and help them in case of harassment, litigation etc. which may arise during the process of their professional practice.

2. To provide legal aid to the members of the Scheme.

3. To promote Social Service Activities such as to provide Medical Aid to the poor and needy, to undertake family welfare programmes, to organize blood donation campaigns, to conduct Medical Education and First Aid classes, to organize AIDS Awareness programmes etc.

4. To involve in all activities including awareness seminars, workshops etc publication of relevant materials or books both for the public and the members of the scheme and IMA so as to decrease the incidence of litigations against doctors.

Only life members of the Indian Medical Association are eligible to become the members of the Scheme.

Any claim arising within the jurisdiction of Republic of India alone will be entertained by the scheme.

Membership fee for the first year shall be Rs. 3000/-. The membership fee once paid will not be refunded.

Any cause of action from the date of realization of the membership fee for one full calendar year will be taken up by the Scheme. Cause of action means the treatment given by the member to the patient which lead to the litigation. Continuous membership can be obtained by prior renewal on payment availing a rebate of Rs. 100/- every year upto a period of 6 years/ if no compensation is paid on behalf of the member.

Any member can take multiple units by paying membership fee of Rs. 3000/- (Rupees Three Thousand only) per unit, as above. The claim amount shall be proportionate to the number of units.

First year membership Rs. 3000/-

If no claims Second year membership Rs. 2900/-

If no claims third year membership Rs. 2800/-

If no claims Fourth membership Rs. 2700/-

If no claims Fifth Year membership Rs. 2600/-

If no claims Sixth year membership Rs. 2500/-

Once a claim occurs and it is settled, the membership fee for the next year will be Rs. 3000/- as that of a new member.

The Scheme shall be managed by a Managing committee consisting of:-

1. Chairman

2. Hon. Secretary

3. Hon. Treasurer
