Karnataka became the first State to enact an exclusive Law for protection of Good Samaritans this year. The “ Karnataka Good Samaritan and Medical Professional (Protection and Regulation during Emergency Situations) Act” , the drafting of which was supported by SaveLIFE Foundation, aims to provide protection to Good Samaritans, who come to the aid of victims of road accident and other emergency situations, from ensuing legal and procedural hassles.
