Setting aside the order of the West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission (WBCERC), the Calcutta High Court has directed the Commission to re-adjudicate the case concerning the death of a pregnant doctor, who passed away because of refusal of treatment and delayed medical attention by 3 hospitals.
The WBCERC held only Bhagirathi Neotia Woman & Child Care Centre (BNWCCC) responsible and asked it to pay Rs 20 lakh for negligence in the treatment of the deceased. However, while considering the plea by BNWCCC the Calcutta High Court bench expressed its surprise at the fact that no complaint was filed against Apollo Hospital, where the patient was taken at first and was denied treatment or Belle Vue hospital, which kept the patient waiting for 35 minutes before commencing treatment.
