BENGALURU: A day after Express carried a report on how the Health Department was under pressure to protect a doctor in Haveri who performed alleged unwarranted hysterectomies, Karnataka State Women’s Commission has sent a reminder notice to the department asking for a report within 15 days.
Women’s panel chairperson Nagalakshmi Bai told Express, “I had sent a notice to the Health Department for an action taken report on February 12. They did not reply. After reading that the department is under pressure to shield the doctor, I have sent a reminder notice.”
