Cong leaders slam Vijayan govt over 'isolated incidents' claim in Kerala health sector
KOCHI: Senior Congress leaders on Monday mounted a sharp attack on Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan government over recurring allegations of medical negligence, rejecting the state minister's contention that such incidents are "isolated cases".
The criticism came after the Congress General Secretary and Alappuzha Lok Sabha member visited Usha Joseph, a native of his constituency, who is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Ernakulam, after a pair of scissors that was allegedly left inside her abdomen during a surgery at Vandanam Medical College Hospital in 2021 was removed last week.
Addressing the media, he said inquiry committees announced in the wake of medical negligence cases were often meant to whitewash lapses rather than fix accountability.
