In 2004, Pratibha Gamre lost her husband, when a doctor trained only in Ayurveda prescribed allopathic drugs like Betnesol, Decadron and Neurobion to him without consulting a licensed allopathic practitioner.
Her eight-year-long battle for justice ended on a victorious note on Monday, when the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission upheld an order passed by the state commission, for a fine of Rs 7 lakh to be imposed on the Kandivli based ayurvedic doctor, for deficiency in service. The amount will be paid as compensation to Pratibha.
