Chapter VI sec 61 to 90 of the Cr.p.c deals with this .
As per the law a person who is summoned is legally bound to appear before the court on the given date and time.Wilful disobedience is liable to be punished under section 174 of IPC.Its a ground for contempt of court.so try to attend at least once and then you can file a petition before the court for the exemption to appear the court in future based upon the health issue.
