“Treat AIDS patients sans discrimination”
Staff Reporter
DINDIGUL: The State Government should take appropriate measures to ensure that there is no discrimination in providing treatment, care and support to persons affected with HIV/AIDS, according to A.P. Shah, Chief Justice, High Court.
He was inaugurating the Legal Aid Clinic, second in the State and first in the district on Sunday.
“There are three-fold obligations that their rights must be respected, protected and fulfilled. HIV has threatened lives of women, owing to gender equality, poverty and blatant violations of human rights.”
The Legal Aid Clinic constituted at the Dindigul GH will assist patients in getting medical treatment, acquiring property rights, if denied, and in getting rights to maintenance, employment, education for themselves and to their children and to receive government schemes for destitute women and widows.
Tamil Nadu State AIDS control Society Project Director Supriya Sahu said the Legal Aid Clinic would be set up in Madurai, Villupuram, Thirunelveli, and Cuddalore districts shortly. High Court Judge Prabha Sri Devan said that HIV patients had all rights what other people were enjoying. High Court Judge R. Regupathi said that courts would fight for the rights of these innocent women.
