Hospital Cannot Escape Liability for Doctor’s Negligence, Rules Uttarakhand HC - Video

The Uttarakhand High Court has refused to grant interim relief to Max Healthcare Institute Limited in an alleged medical negligence case where the hospital was directed to pay Rs 10 lakh as compensation following the death of a patient during treatment.

Medical Dialogues had reported on the case in which the Uttarakhand Medical Council directed the hospital to pay Rs 10 lakh in compensation to the family of the deceased after holding the hospital and its doctors responsible and guilty of medical negligence. Two doctors, including a neurosurgeon, were also suspended in the case. Aggrieved by the order, the Dehradun-based private hospital approached the Uttarakhand High Court seeking relief. However, the Court declined to entertain the plea and instead directed the parties to file their counter-affidavits.
