Meanwhile, the Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) has strongly come in support of the treating doctor and out-rightly rejected the allegations of the deceased patient husband. The association in its statement has said that the injection was a common injection administered to patient with abdominal pain. The women died due to rapid and severe allergic reaction which can happen to any patient and which cannot be termed as negligence of the treating doctor.
