Govt to ask Goa Medical College Dean to file case against MLA for allegedly threats
Panaji: The state Health Minister Vishwajit Rane recently informed that the government is going to ask the dean of Goa Medical College and Hospital to file a case against Congress MLA Francis Silveira for allegedly threatening him over the eviction of ambulances from the medical facility's premises.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that Health Minister Vishwajit Rane has banned private hearse van operators from the premises of the largest government-run hospital the Goa Medical College because of overcharging deceased’s kin.
He had accused Silveira of threatening GMCH Dean Dr Shivanand Bandekar after the latter ordered that ambulances parked in the premises be evicted in order to make a place for a free hearse van service, a charge denied by the Congress MLA.
“I was really shocked to get a message from the Dean of the Goa Medical College, Silveira has threatened him with dire consequences over this. I have ordered them to be vacated from the hospital’s vicinity,” Rane informed.
