Holding the Christian Medical College (CMC) and Hospital in Vellore guilty of medical negligence while conducting caesarean operation on a woman, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has recently ordered the hospital to pay Rs 15 lakh compensation.
While conducting the C-section operation back in 2015, the doctors allegedly left a cotton pad inside the body of the woman. Further the consumer court noted that the store records of CMC had been tampered.
Therefore, the hospital has been directed to pay the compensation within 45 days. If the hospital fails to do so, an interest of 9% shall be levied on the compensation amount.
