New delhi: The much-awaited Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Bill, which aims to regulate surrogacy in India, is likely to be introduced during the ongoing Parliament session.
Other than this, the Union health ministry proposes to introduce two key Bills — the Bio-medical and Health Regulation Bill and the Recognition of New Systems of Medicine Bill, 2014 in the Winter Session.
Health ministry officials say they aim to approach the Cabinet soon so the Bill can be introduced in the Winter Session.
The proposed Bio-medical and Health Research Regulation Bill, once approved, will cover research, clinical studies involving human participants or material for development and evaluation of tools and strategies for promotion, prevention, amelioration and rehabilitation of diseases, or diagnostic tests required to understand diseases.
