Max Hospital — Doctor's Negligence

Address: Saket, New Delhi

I would like to bring to your notice the medical treatment my child Sahil Ahuja has been receiving at Max hospital Saket under Dr. Neeraj Awasthy, a Paediatric cardiologist. I came from South Africa and have been communicating with Dr. Neeraj from South Africa who mentioned I can bring my baby to India for a VSD device closure or surgical repair. After reaching India, he examined the baby on several occasions. Unfortunately, he did VSD device closure for my 6-month-old baby on 21st March 2022 which I came to know after the procedure that it was legally not supposed to be done for a 6-month-old child with an inlet VSD. Dr. Neeraj never explained to me the risk factors but now he is claiming that device closure was high risk yet when I asked him for open-heart surgery. He said that my baby is an ideal candidate for device closure. Little did I know, that he was experimenting on my baby to enhance his portfolio. Today, my baby is paralyzed and brain-damaged because Dr. Awasthy burst one of the chambers of his heart and put him under cardiac arrest. Dr. Awasthy is the most dishonest doctor, I came across. He even went as far as to edit the documents which were already signed.

I request you to urgently look into this matter.
