The court described the standard of medical care at the hospital as "abysmal",[25] and wrote that the court's decision was intended as a "deterrent and a reminder" to the medical community.[26][27] The compensation, which with interest came to Rs. 11.41 crore (US$1.86 million in 2013), was the highest ever awarded by an Indian court for medical negligence.[28]

Fire incident

Main article: 2011 AMRI Hospital fire

A fire at the hospital occurred at Dhakuria in South Kolkata in the early morning of 9 December 2011.[4] The fire was due to alleged negligence, which caused flammable substances kept in the basement of the building to catch fire after a short circuit in the electrical system. It is reported that 95 people, including members of the staff, died due to asphyxiation. Six board members were then released on bail after a temporary arrest.[29] The Dhakuria Unit of AMRI Hospitals reopened operations two years later, after it received clearance on November 2013.[30]
