Kerala: Human Rights Commission to probe alleged medical negligence case
Advertisement
Kerala: The State Human Rights Commission has taken note of an alleged case of medical negligence which resulted in a partial paralysis of a child victim-because of a dog bite.
The constitution of a medical board is now examining the child’s condition, as directed by the commission and his health report will be submitted to the District Medical Officer later.
It has now ordered an inquiry to look into the case and investigate the role of Child Welfare Authority which had earlier promised free treatment for the child. However, it later retracted on its promise, which has irked the human rights commission to probe its role thoroughly in the case.
