A Dubai civil court has ordered two doctors and two nurses at a private hospital to pay Dh200,000 in compensation to the parents of a stillborn child, ruling that their medical negligence during labor directly caused the fetus’s death.
The court also imposed a 5 per cent legal interest on the award, effective from the date the ruling becomes final until full payment, in addition to court fees and expenses.
The case was brought by an Arab couple who sought Dh499,000 in damages for the physical, psychological, and financial harm they endured following the loss of their baby.
