UBS in talks on Indian minority-owned wealth joint venture, say sources

The Allahabad High Court directed the UP Health Secretary to issue a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for medical termination of pregnancy cases. The court noted that many Chief Medical Officers and doctors were unaware of the proper procedures, leading to inconsistencies. The directive came in response to a case involving a minor seeking termination of a 29-week pregnancy. The court emphasized the need for sensitivity and adherence to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, and related regulations. The SOP aims to ensure uniformity and proper handling of such cases across the state.
