Hospital ordered to pay Rs 8 lakh compensation for negligence causing muscle damage
Coming down heavily on a private hospital in Sonarpur, located on the southern outskirts of the city, the West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission (WBCERC) has instructed the facility to pay compensation worth Rs 8 lakh to the family of a three-year-old boy following allegations of negligent treatment, which reportedly resulted in significant muscle damage to the child's hand.
The West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission, chaired by retired judge Ashim Banerjee, issued the compensation order on Thursday. Banerjee stated that the negligence has left the boy with persistent numbness in his fingers, with no assurance that his hand will ever return to normal.
