Can I refuse medical treatment in India?

Yes, you can refuse medical treatment except in the case of an emergency where the doctor need not get consent for treatment.

However, there are exceptions, such as if you pose a danger to yourself or others due to a severe mental health condition. In emergencies, life-saving treatment might be administered without explicit consent. It’s essential to communicate your decision with healthcare professionals, who can provide information about the potential consequences of refusal. While individual choice is respected, it’s advisable to carefully consider the implications and seek advice from medical experts to make informed decisions about your health.
