Medicos forced out of residence as Kakatiya Medical College Hostels turn into COVID-19 ward
Hyderabad: Trouble has mounted for house surgeons and interns at the Kakatiya Medical College (KMC) after the management decided to turn their hostel into an isolation ward for COVID-19 patients.
The decision has been made concerning one of the hostel buildings whose medicos were asked to vacate and informed that electricity and water supply would be cut on January 17. With the move around 83 house surgeons have become shelterless
After the surgeons and interns of KMC urged the Superintendent and the District Collector through a letter to reverse the decision, the college administration allotted 83 surgeons a new accommodation with only 16 rooms outside the campus.
"The rooms are very small, poorly ventilated, and in an unhygienic condition. How are we supposed to cope and adjust to the new accommodation amidst hectic duties," they questioned, speaking to the media persons here.
