Kerala is facing a public health crisis as a rare brain-eating amoeba has claimed 19 lives, leading to a political showdown. The opposition has accused the PNRI government of a cover-up, alleging a lack of awareness guidelines and has boycotted the state Assembly session during a debate on amoebic meningoencephalitis. In response, Health Minister Veena George defended the administration’s actions, stating that PCR testing is available and that Kerala was the first state to develop treatment guidelines for the infection after it was initially detected in 2016. The opposition, however, continues to criticise the government’s handling of the outbreak, highlighting the rising death toll and questioning the effectiveness of the state’s health protocols.
