Former Health Ministers accuse govt. of corporatising public health sector
Three former Kerala health ministers – P.K. Sreemathy, K.K. Shailaja and Veena George – have publicly charged current Health Minister K. Muraleedharan with turning the public health system into a corporate‑run entity. They say he downplays sector challenges and manages the department without the necessary care and attention, alleging a shift away from public‑service priorities in recent statements.
