Overview
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has directed a Sangli-based paediatrician to pay Rs 7.5 lakh compensation to the mother of a four-year-old girl, who died after treatment.
While considering the complaint filed by the patient's mother, the District Consumer Court ruled that the treating doctor provided 'deficient service' as necessary tests were not performed before beginning treatment.
It was alleged that the symptoms indicated dengue or malaria. However, the concerned doctor did not carry out the required tests even though the laboratories were available in the town.
