Overview
Considering medical negligence allegations against Visakhapatnam-based Care hospital and its doctors, the Supreme Court recently stated that "every death in an institutionalized environment of a hospital does not necessarily amount to medical negligence on a hypothetical assumption of lack of due medical care."
Although the plea claimed that the doctors and the hospital were negligent while providing treatment to the patient and there was also delay in treatment, the Supreme Court bench comprising of Justice D. Y. Chandrachud, Justice A. S. Bopanna and Justice J. B. Pardiwala dismissed the plea after referring to the NCDRC judgment.
