Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 6 (UNI) Sparking a political storm, Opposition leader in Kerala Assembly VD Satheesan today alleged today that Venu, a resident of Panmana in Kollam, died at Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital due to a lack of timely medical care while on a ventilator.
Satheesan claimed Venu’s death was not just a case of medical negligence but a result of the systematic weakening of the state’s health system over the past nine years. “The Health Minister and the government cannot escape responsibility for this death,” he said.
