The Dubai Courts have upheld a judgment in a medical malpractice case, dismissing appeals from Adam Vital Hospital and the treating physician, following a patient’s severe and permanent disability caused by negligent medical care.
The patient underwent a joint replacement surgery at Adam Vital Hospital on December 20, 2021. Soon after the operation, he experienced severe pain and difficulty in moving his leg.
Despite returning to the hospital for corrective surgery, his condition did not improve. He was forced to fly abroad and pursue treatment in Italy. Italian medical specialists documented the persistent complications and performed multiple corrective procedures to save his leg from potential amputation.
