Medical Negligence Victim Gets Justice: New Job!
26 May
Summary
- K.K. Harshina appointed office assistant after medical negligence case.
- She joined duty on May 26, 2026, after a four-year struggle.
- The government promised to cover ongoing medical treatment expenses.
K.K. Harshina, who experienced medical negligence at Kozhikode Government Medical College Hospital, began her new role as an office assistant on May 26, 2026. Her appointment comes after a protracted four-year struggle for justice following a C-section surgery in 2017, during which a surgical instrument was mistakenly left inside her.
Harshina expressed deep satisfaction, viewing her new job as a significant victory and a response to those who previously overlooked her plight. She was particularly thankful for the support she received. The Chief Minister assured her that the government would bear the expenses for her continued medical care.
This development follows her meetings with the Chief Minister and Health Minister in Thiruvananthapuram on May 25, 2026. While a criminal case against two doctors and two nurses involved in the surgery has been stayed by the High Court, a civil case seeking financial compensation is scheduled for a Kozhikode court in July 2026.
