The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently upheld the order of Maharashtra State Commission, which had directed a private hospital in Akola and its doctors to pay Rs 20 lakh compensation for deficiency in service while treating a patient suffering from kidney dysfunction.
The concerned patient had only one kidney and she was suffering from urinary tract infection as well. Even though the hospital and the doctors claimed that there was no negligence on their part, the Apex Consumer Court opined that they should not have operated on the patient even though basic facilities like intensive care unit were not available in the hospital.
