Kochi: Government doctors staged a sit-in protest on Friday outside the district National Health Mission (NHM) office, calling for the removal of the NHM Ernakulam program officer. The protest was triggered by allegations of 'arrogant action and misuse of power' against the official, with concerns raised about his behaviour, particularly towards female medical officers.
The protest was organized under the banner of the Kerala Government Medical Officers' Association (KGMOA). During the protest, the doctors also raised sexual harassment complaints against the official, revealing that as many as four female doctors had filed complaints against him with the District Medical Officer (DMO).
