The Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has directed the Health department to ensure that children reaching hospitals for treatment get proper care and employees, including doctors, behave with them in a friendly manner.
The commission directive was issued on Thursday to the Health Secretary and the Director of Health Services.
A single bench of commission member Reni Antony was taking suo motu action on a media report that a child who had sustained a snakebite in September last year did not get adequate treatment at the Punalur taluk hospital.
