Doctors, Hospitals Liable for Medical Negligence Only When Failing to Meet Competency Standards

#medicalnegligence #punjabnews #doctornews The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Punjab, Chandigarh, has set aside a District Commission's order against Garg Hospital and its doctor, observing that medical practitioners and hospitals can be held liable only if their actions fall below the standards expected of reasonably competent professionals. The District Commission order had directed Garg Hospital and its doctor to compensate Rs 28,500 for alleged negligence, improper treatment, and charging exorbitantly from newborns admitted to Garg Hospital on being referred by Rajiv Hospital without the consent of the newborn children's parents. In August 2023, a State Commission dismissed a complaint against Garg Hospital and its doctor. The complaint arose from a 2017 incident where a pregnant woman was referred from Rajiv Hospital to Garg Hospital for childbirth. The complainant alleged improper treatment, lack of consent, and misbehavior by the doctor.
