Ghaziabad hospitals to pay Rs 12L after denying care to child rape victim
Two hospitals in Ghaziabad have agreed to pay Rs 12 lakh in compensation to the parents of a minor girl who died after being turned away without timely medical treatment. The case involved a child rape victim whose death prompted the Supreme Court to take note of the matter. The court expressed serious concern over the insensitivity displayed by both the hospitals and the police in handling the case. It is now considering framing mandatory treatment guidelines for medical institutions to prevent similar incidents. Additionally, police may soon be required to video record statements made by sexual assault complainants.
