مدى مجانية فحص و علاج الإصابة بفيروس كورونا كوفيد-19 : قراءة موجزة في اجتهادات المحكمة العليا الهندية

Abstract EN

This article briefly talks about medical tests done for those suspected of having the Coronavirus-Covid-19.

As the Supreme Court of India listened to lawsuits and requests for free medical tests of Indian citizens, because it is too expensive for the poor citizen.

The court dealt with: economic crisis, health repercussions, social facts, and accelerated events, which led it to determine new and emerging judicial principles at a high speed.

This article presents the dramatic development of the principles which established by the court with regard to the "free medical tests", as it shows the realistic foundations on which it relied, the objections that were directed to the court rulings, the changes and restrictions that affected the principle of free tests, and the extent to which the court has reached to establish a principle "Free treatment".

The article concludes with the importance of the government's role in conducting these medical tests, due to the inability of the private sector to cover them for free.
