Death in Kanhangad – progress in our petition to Human Rights Commission
We are glad to report progress in our petition to the Kerala State Human Rights Commission. The Commission has asked the Government of Kerala to inform the steps taken by the Government to implement the policy formulated in 2008, and also whether morphine and other medicines are made available in Medical colleges and district hospitals, whether qualified doctors and nurses are appointed in these hospitals etc. The case is to be heard on 29 August 2014.
Here is the order from the Kerala Human Rights Commission (in Malayalam); and here is the translated version.
