The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently directed a Visakhapatnam based hospital and its doctor to pay Rs 1 lakh to a patient for non-maintenance of medical record.

Although the top consumer court held that there was no medical negligence by the doctor and the hospital while providing treatment to the patient for Ano-rectal abscess, it noted that the case sheet of the treatment procedure was not maintained.
