medical negligence done by doctor now working in abroad
17-Apr-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I want to know if a person is a victim of medical negligence and when the negligence has come to light and he files the case in consumer forum but the treating doctor is not working in the same hospital anymore and now he is working in some other hospital in abroad then what steps the complainant can take in this matter and what action the consumer court will take in this matter?
hospital can be held vicariously liable for such incidence. hospital authorities have to be impleaded as party in the matter. The doctors also can be issued summons even though abroad through a legal provision under the cpc.
You can seek permission from Consumer Forum to serve notice in the matter. Doctor being here or abroad doesn't touch maintainability of the complaint. Forever you can seek opinion of physician attending your case.
Hello
