Kozhikode MCH Sexual Assault Case: Complaint filed against gynaecologist

Therefore, she recently approached the Kozhikode City Police Commissioner to inquire about the status of the investigation into her complaint and filed a fresh complaint against the gynaecologist. 

In her complaint, the survivor also alleged that the doctor demeaned her when nurses requested documentation of her bodily injuries.

Medical Dialogues team recently reported that senior Nursing officer P B Anitha resumed her duties at Kozhikode Government Medical College Hospital (GMCH) on Sunday, marking the end of her sit-in protest outside the hospital. Her demonstration was prompted by the hospital's refusal to reinstate her despite a High Court directive.

In March 2023, a woman patient admitted to the post-surgery Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Kozhikode Medical College Hospital was allegedly raped by a 55-year-old employee at the hospital on March 18. The victim claimed that the employee exploited her while she was in a semi-conscious state after undergoing thyroid surgery at the medical college hospital. 

Following this, five hospital staff were suspended for attempting to influence the accused and Chief Nursing Officer and Nursing Superintendent were transferred for failing to address a complaint filed by a Senior Nursing Officer who stood by the rape survivor in the case.
