Kerala Health department has decided to remove K Shylaja, Director of Health Services (DHS), from her post after Vigilance department initiated steps to prosecute her in a corruption case involving purchase of medicines in 2002.
The Vigilance case was that Shylaja, who was the then District Medical Officer here, and the then DHS VK Rajan had purchased hepatitis-B vaccine in excess of the required quantity, causing a loss of Rs 1.9 crore to the department. Rajan is the first accused in the case and Shylaja, the second accused.

Sources at the office of the Health Minster said it would not be proper to allow her to continue in the post of DHS in the wake of Vigilance department's decision last month to prosecute her. She would be shifted to the state AIDS control society as its director, the sources said.
