The National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has dismissed the complaint against a hospital and its doctors who were accused of not admitting a patient in the ICU till the arrival of the Cardiologist or that Oxygen was not given and there was a delay in the treatment of the patient.

The doctors include a cardiologist and a general physician. The complaint also alleged that proper injections were not administered to the patient. Dismissing the complaint, the commission stated, “It should be borne in mind that we are dealing with a case of alleged medical negligence and thus need to analyze whether the treating doctors or hospitals failed in their reasonable duty of care. The medical record of the Care Hospital is a vital document to prove the medical negligence if any.”

“There was past medical history of diabetes and the ECGs were confirmatory of acute MI (STEMI). Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that the patient developed cardiac problems during the nine months. We note that the doctors made all efforts to resuscitate the patient from the cardiac arrest but could not revive the patient. In our view, they performed their duty with reasonable standard of care. We do not find any deficiency either from the hospital or the treating doctors,” it added.

A major fire broke out at Dreams Mall’s Sunrise Hospital last night at around 12:30 pm out of which 10 dead bodies were recovered. 78 patients were present in the affected area out of which 46 have been traced.

The deceased patients were known to be suffering from Covid-19 and seven of them were on ventilators. 70 patients were evacuated and sent to another hospital, Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar told ANI.

Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thakrey sought “forgiveness” from the families of those who lost their lives and said that the hospital was temporarily allowed to treat Covid patients in the midst of the fight against pandemic.

Assuring action, Mr Thackeray said: “I want to assure you that whoever is at fault, they will be punished. Firefighters did a great job in rescuing people. However, some people who were on ventilators could not be rescued. I seek forgiveness from their families,” the Chief Minister said.

“We have been fighting against coronavirus for the last one year. When the pandemic had hit the state, there were very few beds and ventilators but we continued our fight and we had set up temporary hospitals. This hospital was also allowed temporarily to treat coronavirus patients. The permission would have expired on March 31,” he added.

The state has announced a compensation of Rs. 5 Lakh for affected families.
