The Supreme Court today issued notices to all states and Union territories asking them to explain unsafe and unhygienic sterilisation drives in violation of an earlier order for safe procedures.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The move came on a PIL by a health rights activist who alleged inhuman sterilisations continued in rural areas in &ldquo;reckless disregard&rdquo; of the lives of poor women, especially in Bihar.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
In one case, 53 women were sterilised in two hours &mdash; less than two minutes for each &mdash; in a drive in Bihar&rsquo;s Araria on January 7 this year, activist Devika Biswas alleged in her plea. School desks were used as operating tables and expired medicines administered to the patients, she claimed.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Biswas, who has also worked in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Jharkhand, said the women at the Bihar camp were mainly from the BPL, SC and OBC categories.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Most of them were left writhing in pain, without post-operative care, the petition said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The petition said such incidents amounted to contempt of court, which had in an earlier judgement ruled that a limited panel of doctors should be authorised to carry out such procedures.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
After the last court order, the Union health ministry prepared a quality assurance manual in 2006, setting standards for female and male sterilisation and rules for camps.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, most of the guidelines have been ignored, the PIL alleged. &ldquo;Unsafe sterilisation camps are the norm throughout India. Reports from Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh demonstrate that standards of hygiene, consent and care are routinely ignored.&rdquo;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
In most of the cases, the victims of these unsafe and illegal practices were poor tribal women, the petition said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
She alleged that the Bihar government had issued a memorandum in February 2008 permitting private clinics to conduct sterilisation camps in places other than accredited nursing homes as long as there was &ldquo;requisite quality assurance&rdquo;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
A year later, the state said it would pay the facility a fee of Rs 1,350 per patient and the motivator a fee of Rs 150 but would not cover the expenses of equipment, management or transportation. The empanelled doctor makes Rs 75 for each surgery.

The Supreme Court today issued notices to all states and Union territories asking them to explain unsafe and unhygienic sterilisation drives in violation of an earlier order for safe procedures.

<div style="text-align: justify">

<div style="text-align: justify">
The move came on a PIL by a health rights activist who alleged inhuman sterilisations continued in rural areas in &ldquo;reckless disregard&rdquo; of the lives of poor women, especially in Bihar.

In one case, 53 women were sterilised in two hours &mdash; less than two minutes for each &mdash; in a drive in Bihar&rsquo;s Araria on January 7 this year, activist Devika Biswas alleged in her plea.

Most of them were left writhing in pain, without post-operative care, the petition said.

The petition said such incidents amounted to contempt of court, which had in an earlier judgement ruled that a limited panel of doctors should be authorised to carry out such procedures.

The move came on a PIL by a health rights activist who alleged inhuman sterilisations continued in rural areas in &ldquo;reckless disregard&rdquo; of the lives of poor women, especially in Bihar.

In one case, 53 women were sterilised in two hours &mdash; less than two minutes for each &mdash; in a drive in Bihar&rsquo;s Araria on January 7 this year, activist Devika Biswas alleged in her plea.

</div>

Biswas, who has also worked in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Jharkhand, said the women at the Bihar camp were mainly from the BPL, SC and OBC categories.

Most of them were left writhing in pain, without post-operative care, the petition said.

The petition said such incidents amounted to contempt of court, which had in an earlier judgement ruled that a limited panel of doctors should be authorised to carry out such procedures.

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
After the last court order, the Union health ministry prepared a quality assurance manual in 2006, setting standards for female and male sterilisation and rules for camps.

The move came on a PIL by a health rights activist who alleged inhuman sterilisations continued in rural areas in “reckless disregard” of the lives of poor women, especially in Bihar.

In one case, 53 women were sterilised in two hours — less than two minutes for each — in a drive in Bihar’s Araria on January 7 this year, activist Devika Biswas alleged in her plea. School desks were used as operating tables and expired medicines administered to the patients, she claimed.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">

Most of them were left writhing in pain, without post-operative care, the petition said.

The petition said such incidents amounted to contempt of court, which had in an earlier judgement ruled that a limited panel of doctors should be authorised to carry out such procedures.

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
After the last court order, the Union health ministry prepared a quality assurance manual in 2006, setting standards for female and male sterilisation and rules for camps.

The move came on a PIL by a health rights activist who alleged inhuman sterilisations continued in rural areas in “reckless disregard” of the lives of poor women, especially in Bihar.
In one case, 53 women were sterilised in two hours — less than two minutes for each — in a drive in Bihar’s Araria on January 7 this year, activist Devika Biswas alleged in her plea. School desks were used as operating tables and expired medicines administered to the patients, she claimed.
Biswas, who has also worked in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Jharkhand, said the women at the Bihar camp were mainly from the BPL, SC and OBC categories.
Most of them were left writhing in pain, without post-operative care, the petition said.
The petition said such incidents amounted to contempt of court, which had in an earlier judgement ruled that a limited panel of doctors should be authorised to carry out such procedures.
After the last court order, the Union health ministry prepared a quality assurance manual in 2006, setting standards for female and male sterilisation and rules for camps.
However, most of the guidelines have been ignored, the PIL alleged. “Unsafe sterilisation camps are the norm throughout India. Reports from Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh demonstrate that standards of hygiene, consent and care are routinely ignored.”
In most of the cases, the victims of these unsafe and illegal practices were poor tribal women, the petition said.
She alleged that the Bihar government had issued a memorandum in February 2008 permitting private clinics to conduct sterilisation camps in places other than accredited nursing homes as long as there was “requisite quality assurance”.
A year later, the state said it would pay the facility a fee of Rs 1,350 per patient and the motivator a fee of Rs 150 but would not cover the expenses of equipment, management or transportation. The empanelled doctor makes Rs 75 for each surgery.
