THE National University Hospital (NUH) is being sued for $1 million by two parties claiming medical negligence on its part.

The first suit was filed by a 79-year- old cancer patient, who has alleged that a botched medical procedure required her to undergo open heart surgery later. She claims she is now unable to work as a result.

The second case has been taken out by the family of Derrick Peh, a national serviceman who became paralysed following surgery for a shoulder injury. Corporal Peh died of pneumonia on July 29 this year, three years and four months after the incident.
