Tragedy Strikes Kerala Hospital as Woman Succumbs to Infection
A woman has tragically passed away at a medical college hospital in Kerala after contracting a suspected Acinetobacter infection. The incident, which occurred in early November 2025, has sparked a major controversy, with the victim's family levelling serious allegations against the hospital administration.
Family Alleges Hospital Negligence and Blame Game
According to statements from the relatives, doctors at the medical college confirmed that the cause of death was the Acinetobacter infection. This bacterium is known for causing severe, hard-to-treat infections, particularly in healthcare settings.
The family has further accused the hospital authorities of attempting to shift the blame for the infection onto them. They claim that instead of taking responsibility, the hospital was trying to insinuate that the family was somehow responsible for introducing the pathogen, a charge that has added to their distress.
Timeline and Official Confirmation
The news was first reported by journalist Arjun Raghunath and was last updated on 09 November 2025 at 14:30 IST. The report confirms the core facts of the case: the patient's death and the confirmed presence of the Acinetobacter infection by the hospital's own doctors.
This case has thrown a spotlight on the critical issues of hospital-acquired infections and patient safety protocols within the Indian healthcare system. It raises urgent questions about accountability and the measures in place to prevent such tragic outcomes.
