Slow and mild justice for doctors at fault


More than a year has passed since retired Chief Justice of India J.S.Verma died at a Gudgaon hospital and his family complained of medical negligence, but the expert committee appointed by the appellate body - Delhi Medical Council - has not been able to conclude anything. The high-profile case has highlighted the delays typical in medical negligence cases due to policy shortcomings and a lack of commitment.

Sad reflection on the system prevalent in the country. Unless the work ethics improves on its own or imposed effectively by the authorities, things would not change for the better in the near future.
