Woman in 2017 surgical lapse case calls Kerala Health Minister 'failure', says justice not done

KOZHIKODE (KERALA): (Feb 22) A Kozhikode native, from whose abdomen a pair of artery forceps was discovered years after a caesarean section at the Government Medical College here in 2017, on Sunday termed Health Minister Veena George a "failure" and said justice has not been done in her case.

Harsheena, a native of Manakkadavu near Pantheerankavu, told reporters that the health minister's claim that her issues had been resolved was incorrect and that she had to stage multiple protests to secure compensation.

Harsheena (24) underwent a caesarean section in 2017 at Kozhikode Medical College, after which she experienced persistent pain.
