Ernakulam (Kerala): A female doctor has levelled a sexual allegation charge against a senior doctor in Ernakulam General Hospital. The incident dates back to 2019. It is alleged that in 2019, while she was doing house surgeonship, the senior doctor allegedly forcefully kissed her. The female doctor made the allegation through a Facebook post. The victim stated that she had shared her traumatic experience with her colleagues at that time. But chose to come out of the closet only now.
Fearing that she would not be granted a certificate after the completion of the house surgeonship, the victim had not disclosed the matter to anyone at that time.
The medical superintendent of the hospital while sharing the information with reporters on Friday said the victim had lodged a complaint in this regard and a copy of the letter had been sent to the director of the health department. The letter was filed by the complainant through e-mail.
