The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, recently exonerated a Delhi-based St Stephen hospital from charges of medical negligence while treating a patient, who underwent cholecystectomy at the hospital.
The patient claimed that she had to face post-operative complications due to the hospital not administering medicines to her to control her blood sugar level and the Commission, after taking note of the Expert Medical Opinion found that there was no medical negligence on the hospital's part.
