The Supreme Court recently directed Manipal Hospital to pay Rs 10 lakh compensation to the widow of a patient who developed hoarseness in his voice as a result of faulty insertion of a double lumen tube while administering anaesthesia.
While the District Consumer Court had granted Rs 5 lakh Compensation and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) upheld the same, the Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah enhanced the amount of compensation to Rs 10 lakhs.
