Indian court orders ban on government doctors' private practice to curb duty neglect.

The Allahabad High Court has ordered the Uttar Pradesh government to create a policy preventing government doctors from practicing privately. This follows concerns that doctors are neglecting duties at medical colleges and hospitals, referring patients to private hospitals for financial gain. The court also directed the enforcement of a 1983 order that restricts private practice by government doctors, with the next hearing set for February 10.
