Maha CM suspends Dean, Deputy Dean of Kalwa hospital over poor facilities

The duo was held responsible for various lapses and a lack of facilities at the hospital. Speaking after a visit to the hospital, Shinde, who is an MLA from Thane, said the doctors must be provided with better working conditions and facilities.

Doctors at the hospital were working hard, but they were not getting good facilities, Shinde noted.

CM Eknath Shinde on Saturday expressed displeasure about the conditions of doctors at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Civic Hospital (CSMH) in Kalwa.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that authorities had suspended the Resident Medical Officer (RMO) and two other doctors attached to Thiruvananthapuram General Hospital following an incident where health cards were issued to hotel workers without a medical examination. The assistant surgeon and RMO in charge was allegedly caught on camera issuing the card after collecting the cost of Rs. 300. Following the incident, Veena George, the Minister of Health, directed the Director of Health Services to take action against the doctors.
