Kerala HC directs Govt Hospitals to provide free treatment to victims of dog bites
The Kerala High Court recently passed an order directing the government hospitals and the hospitals attached to government medical colleges to provide prompt, efficient and free medical assistance to all victims of dog bites till the state establishes machinery to contain the menace of stray dogs.
Further, the court comprising bench of Justice A. K. Jayashankaran Nambiar and Justice Gopinath P. J. directed that the treatment should be provided without any prejudice to the right of the person concerned to separately seek compensation from the State for the injuries, mental and/or physical, sustained by him/her, before the appropriate forum.
