A Dombivli-based woman finally won the battle after a decade-long fight against two doctors over medical negligence. The doctors had unnecessarily removed her uterus, and caused damage to her urinary system in the process. The state consumer commissioner has directed the doctors to pay a total of Rs 28.5 lakh to the woman for medical negligence and physical, mental and financial agony faced by the woman and her family.

Shreya Nimonkar had developed some menstrual problems including excessive bleeding during periods in March 2010 at the age of 38, and hence consulted with Dr Seema Shanbhag at Shree Krishna Maternity Hospital in Dombivli East.
