Kya main hospital ya doctor ki laparwahi ki complaint kar sakta hoon?

Simple answer

Haan. Paise dekar liya gaya ilaaj 'service' hai, isliye laparwahi par aap Consumer Commission mein compensation maang sakte ho. Galat conduct ki complaint State Medical Council mein bhi kar sakte ho. Police case sirf bahut serious (gross) laparwahi mein banta hai. Sirf kharab result laparwahi nahi hai.

Real-life examples

Private hospital mein Fatima ke operation ke baad pata chala ki andar swab chhoot gaya tha, aur doosra operation karna pada. Ye aisi clear galti hai jiske liye woh Consumer Commission mein compensation maang sakti hai.

Joseph ke father ka heart operation sahi tareeke se hua, phir bhi woh theek nahi hue. Doctor se reasonable skill aur care ki ummeed hai, cure ki guarantee ki nahi. Sirf kharab result laparwahi nahi hai.

Lakshmi ka ilaaj aise government hospital mein hua jahan sabka ilaaj free hota hai. Consumer law mein ye 'service' nahi bhi maani ja sakti, isliye use doosre raaston (jaise civil case) ke baare mein lawyer se poochhna chahiye.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1Hospital se likh kar poore medical records, test reports aur bills maango. Har cheez ki copy rakho.
2Kya galat hua, is par kisi doosre qualified doctor ki opinion lo. Commission aksar expert medical opinion par bharosa karte hain.
3Hospital management ko written complaint bhejo aur reply maango.
42 saal ke andar e-Jagriti par compensation ke liye consumer complaint karo. Kaunsa commission sunega, ye aapki pay ki gayi amount par depend karta hai.
5Doctor ke galat conduct ki complaint State Medical Council mein karo. Agar bahut serious laparwahi se death hui ho, toh police complaint ke baare mein lawyer se baat karo.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

Sabko free milne wala ilaaj (jaise kuch government hospitals mein) consumer law mein 'service' nahi hai. Jahan zyadatar patients se paise liye jaate hain, wahan free patients bhi cover ho sakte hain.
Criminal case ke liye laparwahi bahut serious honi chahiye; judgment ki normal galti crime nahi hai. Doctor par case chalane se pehle court credible medical opinion ki ummeed karte hain.
