Missing Equipment at Thiruvananthapuram MCH triggers Show Cause Notice, says Health Minister
Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Health Minister Veena George said on Friday that a part of the medical equipment was missing from the department of Urology at the Thiruvananthapuram government medical college hospital (MCH). She added that the show cause notice issued to the head of the Urology department was only part of a routine department-level action.
According to the PTI report, the Director of Medical Education (DME) had on Thursday issued a show cause notice to Haris Chirackal, asking why action should not be taken against him for criticising the government in violation of the Kerala Government Servants’ Conduct Rules,1960, causing disgrace to the government.
Through a Facebook post on June 27, Dr Chirakkal had expressed his resentment against the non-availability of an equipment accessory for an important surgery in his department at the medical college.
