A doctor performed a surgery on my father, but left surgical gauze inside his abdomen, causing a severe infection. What are the legal actions we can take against the hospital?

You have three legal remedies: 1. File a complaint with the Provincial Healthcare Commission (e.g., PHC in Punjab) for malpractice and licensing suspension. 2. File a Suit for Damages (Torts) in the Civil Court for medical negligence. 3. File a criminal complaint under Section 318/319 PPC for causing hurt due to rash or negligent act. Keep all medical records, scan reports, and surgical summaries.
