Infant Death Case: Doctor Ordered to Pay Millions in Damages, Medical Community Criticizes Unreasonable Decision

Reported over 1 year ago

A couple surnamed Lin suspected medical negligence after their baby died shortly after birth at a hospital in Taiwan in 2019, leading to a court judgement ordering the doctor and hospital to pay a total of 14.04 million New Taiwan Dollars in damages.
