A homoeopathic doctor is not qualified to prescribe allopathic medicines and will be liable for medical negligence and will have to pay compensation if a patient suffers from medical complications, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has ruled.
Almost two decades after a woman died soon after a homoeopathy doctor in Nagpur gave injections to her, the apex consumer commission directed the doctor to pay compensation of ₹10 lakh to her family members saying he is a diploma holder in homoeopathy and is not qualified to practise allopathy.
The incident took place in Nagpur in 2000 when the woman was taken to the homoeopathic doctor by her family members after she complained of stomach pain. The doctor gave two injections —Baralgan and Dexamethasone. Immediately after the injections, the woman felt uneasy and suddenly died.
