Doctors Are Not Factory Workers, HC Imposes Rs 1 lakh fine on Chennai Hospital - Video
|
Overview
Holding that hospitals cannot treat doctors like a workman in a factory or a technical person or a regular employee, the Madras High Court dismissed the arbitration plea filed by a private hospital against a Chennai-based Cardio Thoracic Surgeon and imposed costs of Rs 1 lakh on the petitioner hospital, directing it to pay the amount to the doctor.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the court had questioned whether hospitals are being run as businesses or healthcare institutions and had orally observed that non-compete and non-solicitation clauses appear "unlawful on the face of it."
