In a letter to Kerala Health Minister Veena George, Vadra said the young mother suffered immense pain due to the alleged medical lapse, which could have become life-threatening. She expressed hope that the investigation ordered by the district medical officer in response to the woman’s complaint “will be undertaken with fairness and objectivity.” Vadra noted that while Kerala’s public healthcare system has been instrumental in making medical treatment accessible to the majority, the Mananthavady medical college—”a vital lifeline for the public” in her Wayanad parliamentary constituency—is struggling with severe resource constraints.
