Kerala HC Applauds Health Workers for Controlling Nipah Virus Outbreak
Kozhikode: The Kerala high court praised all those health workers attached to the state health department, who contributed to control the Nipah virus outbreak in the state. The court also lauded the central government for providing the needed assistance in the crucial issue.
The government took note of the noble efforts of the health workers during a recent hearing on a case, where two naturopathy practitioners urged people not to take the precautionary measures issued by the government on Nipah virus seriously.
As per a recent report in Livelaw, Chief Justice Roy orally observed that they had gone beyond the realms of their duties to render selfless service, unmindful of health risks.
The Chief Justice also made a special mention about Dr R S Gopakumar, who performed the last rites of a victim of Nipah Virus, undaunted by fears of infection.
