No medical negligence in Exploratory Laparotomy: Consumer Court relief to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital

The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Delhi, has recently exonerated the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and one of its doctors from charges of medical negligence while treating a patient who was diagnosed with intra-abdominal collections and doubtful perforation.

However, the condition of the patient deteriorated and he had to be admitted to the hospital again and due to lack of funds, the patient was allotted a bed in the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) ward. The condition of the patient deteriorated further after discharge and it had been alleged that the hospital discharged the patient even though his condition was not normal. In fact, no operation of the Discharge Bag was done by the Doctors before discharging the patient.
