Opining that there was failure of duty of care, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently upheld the State Commission order holding Mata Chanan Devi Hospital guilty of negligence while providing treatment to the patient.
During the treatment, the patient developed gangrene in her hand during the ICU stay at the treating hospital and she later had to get the fingers of her hand amputated at Apollo Hospital. While considering the matter, the NCDRC bench has upheld the Rs 10 lakh compensation awarded by the State Commission.
