The Director of Medical Education issued an order appointing Senior Nursing Officer P.B. Anitha at the Government Medical College, Kozhikode, on Saturday.
The order comes in the wake of a six-day protest by the nurse demanding that the authorities heed a Kerala High Court order dated March 1 to reinstate her in her previous position at the medical college. Meanwhile, the DME also filed a review petition in the High Court against the order.
Ms. Anitha was transferred to Idukki in November 2023 after she supported the survivor in the ICU sexual assault case and gave a statement before the police as well as the internal inquiry panel under the DME.
