Delay in Caesarean Delivery: NCDRC upholds State Commission order, doctor liable to pay Rs 3 lakh compensation for negligence
Observing that the doctor did not attend to the patient immediately when she was in severe labour pains but the patient was left in the hands of assistants who were neither qualified nor trained, the apex consumer court bench recently upheld the District and State Consumer Commission's order holding the doctor of guilty of negligence for the delay in performing the cesarean delivery.
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has dismissed the revision petition of a UP-based doctor, who was directed to pay Rs 3 lakh to the complainant after being held negligent by a district forum.
