Medical Council report on medical negligence not above order of Consumer court, Supreme Court upholds Rs 9 Lakh compensation on Ophthalmologist - Video
|
Overview
The Supreme Court bench recently observed that in a case of medical negligence, a report by the Medical Council, while relevant, cannot be determinative to contradict the factual findings made by a consumer forum.
This observation was made by the Apex Court bench while considering a plea alleging medical negligence by an ophthalmologist and an Eye Clinic, based in Bardhaman, West Bengal. It was alleged by the complainant that due to negligent cataract surgery by the doctor and the clinic, his 13-year-old boy lost complete vision in his right eye.
