As per an order of the State Human Rights Commission
The State government has provided a compensation of ₹15,000 to a 67-year-old woman who was wrongly diagnosed as having a low platelet count at a primary health centre in Chemmaruthy. The amount was given following an order of the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC). Prasanna, a native of Chemmaruthy, was on January 4 this year wrongly diagnosed as having a low platelet count of 10,000 and she was recommended to take advanced treatment. When tests were carried out at a private hospital in Kollam, she was found to have a platelet count of 1.82 lakh. The complainant had accused the doctor and health inspector at the PHC of behaving impolitely with her, when she went back to question the result.
