AIIMS Rishikesh held guilty of wrong HIV positive diagnosis, told to pay patient Rs 60,000 compensation
NEW DELHI: The Uttarakhand state consumer commission on August 17 upheld an order holding AIIMS Rishikesh guilty of medical negligence after its medical records repeatedly recorded a patient as HIV positive, while subsequent tests found him HIV negative. The commission said the hospital failed to explain the HIV-positive entries in its records and upheld compensation of Rs 50,000 and litigation costs of Rs 10,000.
