Hospital crimes pose significant challenges to healthcare delivery by compromising the safety of patients and healthcare professionals. This paper aims to review existing research on hospital crimes in Kerala, India, to identify gaps in the current literature. A systematic literature review was conducted, focusing on studies published up to November 2024. The findings indicate that while workplace violence against doctors has been studied extensively, other forms of hospital crimes, such as theft, sexual harassment, cybercrimes, corruption, and illegal organ trade, remain under-researched. There is also a lack of comprehensive data on systemic factors contributing to these crimes. Addressing these gaps is crucial for developing targeted interventions to enhance hospital safety in Kerala.
