UP doctor, Hospital to pay Rs 4.4 lakh compensation after Patient's death
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) upheld the order of the Uttar Pradesh State Consumer Court directing a Kanpur-based hospital and its doctor to pay Rs 4.4 lakh compensation to a man, whose wife died of septicaemia and shock after undergoing gall bladder surgery at the hospital.
After taking note of the post-mortem report, the Apex Consumer Court noted that the patient had indeed died of septicaemia at the age of 26 years. Further, the Commission noted that both the District and State Commission had held that septicaemia had developed as the hospital and doctor did not take proper care after the first surgery.
