Lapses in her blood test report conducted at Chemmaruthi PHC lab
The Kerala State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed that an elderly woman be paid ₹15,000 as compensation in the wake of grave lapses being found in the platelet count during a blood test conducted at the Chemmaruthi primary health centre (PHC) laboratory. Acting on a complaint by Chemmaruthi resident Swapna Sujith, commission chairperson Antony Dominic directed the District Medical Officer (DMO) to pay the compensation, and if need be, recover it legally from the employees concerned. The DMO was also asked to submit an action-taken report within two months of paying the money. The compensation is to be paid to Ms. Sujith’s mother, 67-year-old Prasanna. The lapse was detected in Prasanna’s blood test.
