The Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has absolved Max Hospital, Patparganj and a doctor from charges of alleged medical negligence as they failed to diagnose Microcephaly during initial days of the patient's pregnancy causing permanent abnormality in the child born.
The patient during her initial months of pregnancy went to the super speciality hospital. The first and second level ultrasounds were conducted and the doctor assured her that there were no complications and called her for routine check-up. However, after the third level Ultrasound with colour Doppler Test and later the Fetal Echo Test the doctor informed the patient that there was abnormality in the head of the child in the womb, and prescribed medicines.
