The medical fraternity across the State in the public sector are observing a Protest Day on October 30, in protest against the government’s decision not to revoke or keep in abeyance the suspension order issued to the doctor who was on duty at the General Hospital on Tuesday for medical negligence, when a patient brought to the casualty had died suddenly.

In a statement, organisations of doctors said the post-mortem report of the patient, a mediaperson, had revealed that he had died of massive intra-cranial bleeding and that no medical negligence had been committed by the doctor as this was a fatal condition.

Doctors in Health Service in Thiruvananthapuram will go on mass casual leave on October 30. While casualty and other essential services will be spared, doctors will not conduct OP clinics, a statement issued by the district unit of Kerala Government Medical Officers’ Association said. The statement issued by Indian Medical Association, KGMOA, Kerala Govt Medical College Teachers’ Association, Kerala Govt Insurance Medical Officers’ Association, Medical Postgraduates’ Association, Medicos’ Association and House Surgeons’ Association, demanded that the government not take any action against the doctor as it was clear that there was no negligence on her part.
