CHANDIGARH, OCT 3
The
State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Punjab has directed to Mittal
Nursing Maternity, Ludhiana
to pay Rs. 50 thousand as compensation for deficiency in services.
Disclosing this here today the
spokesman of the punjab government said that Mr. Jeewan Chhibbar
resident of Ludhiana had filed the complaint that his wife Rajni
Chhibbar
was pregnant and had been getting treatment from Mittal Nursing
Maternity, Ludhiana. Due to some
complications doctors decided to conduct a delivery through caesarean on
expecting date regarding for which some documents were got signed from
the complainant
and his wife. However the doctors could not arrange anesthetist and
pediatric
doctors and the caesarean could not be performed. He said that the
contention
of the complainants is that the trauma could have ill effect on the
fetus and
the caesarean section was considered a saver alternative for delivery
but the Mittal
Nursing Maternity even after knowing that without caesarean, the
delivery was
not possible and the life of the complainant's wife and child was in
danger did
not shift the patient to some other hospital. After that the child was
born in
severe critical condition, it was noticed that there was less supply of
oxygen
to the brain immediately before the birth of the baby causing severe
damage to
the brain. At that time the patient was shifted to Cheema Medical
Complex,
mohali immediately. The doctors told that the child may hardly survive
and
would be mentally retarded and physically handicapped.
He said that due to the negligence of
the nursing home the mother has suffered mentally and physically and their
child has become mentally retarded and physically handicapped, due to the
damage to the brain. The Commission noted that child died within a few days and
it was the first child of the couple.
The
spokesman further said that after hearing both the parties the Commission found
negligence from the side of Mittal Nursing Maternity, Ludhiana and was asked to pay Rs. 50 thousand
as compensation for deficiency in services.
