The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has issued a scathing verdict against the senior state medical commissioners of the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi, reprimanding them for their failure to provide timely medical assistance funds to an employee, resulting in the death of her 25-year-old daughter.
The NCDRC not only awarded a hefty compensation to the complainant, but also directed the guilty authorities to form a trust in memory of the deceased and deposit Rs35 lakh as a corpus funds in it, to be used for underprivileged girls.
The case involved Manda Kumari, a resident of Hyderabad and a member of the ESIC, who sought medical support for her daughter, Shanti Ayani. Shanti was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2011. Medical assessments recommended a bone marrow transplantation, for which the Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) estimated a treatment cost of Rs50 lakh.
