This judgment was pronounced in a complaint filed by a couple, whose baby suffered mental disability due to \u201cnegligence\u201d of the doctor at the time of delivery. The woman, who conceived after several years of infertility treatments, was admitted to Apollo hospital for delivery in June 1999. As a result of \u201csubstandard care during labour\u201d, the child suffered birth asphyxia resulting in cerebral palsy due to negligence at the time of birth. As the baby developed complications two months later, the parents took her to AIIMS where EEG and CT scan revealed that she was severally affected by atrophy of brain. The disability board of AIIMS, certified that the baby was suffering from 95% disability. Alleging medical negligence the couple approached NCDRC in 2002. The child, who underwent treatment for multiple health problems at several hospitals, including AIIMS, died at the age of 12 years, on <st1:date year=\"2012\" day=\"15\" month=\"1\" w:st=\"on\">January 15, 2012<\/st1:date>.
