Medical negligence lawsuit - NUH

A lawsuit was filed last year against National University Hospital (NUH) and 2 specialist doctors in respect of a kidney transplant between a donor wife and her husband. The husband, Surinder Singh, received the kidney successfully but his wife, Narinder Kaur, bled to death soon after the operation. It is understood that the High Court has recently been asked to set trial dates.

The coroner's inquest found that clips used to close off the wife's major artery had slipped off.

The hospital and 2 doctors are represented by law firms Allen and Gledhill, and Rajah and Tann.
The husband is represented by S. Palaniappan of Straits Law Practice.
