Answer:
Ꭺŋѕwєr♤࿐: complaint must be filed with the local police and the State Medical Council.
If it is filed only with the police, then the police can send the report to the State Medical Council.
If the report seems appropriate to the Council then it will send it to various other courts under the relevant sections.
If the case is criminal in nature then it will be against the state versus the hospital or doctor.
If the council finds that the case is serious and pose a danger to the life of the patient then it can also suspend the doctor’s license for a relevant period of time.
If the council finds him guilty, the facts and circumstances of the case will decide the punishment to be given to the doctor.
If the patient is still not satisfied with the judgment then he/she can make an appeal to the Medical Council of India.
The consumer courts can help the patient in seeking monetary compensation. It should be noted that the consumer courts can only provide you with the compensation it cannot punish the guilty.
If the complainant is still not satisfied then he can approach the National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission.
