Nashik Municipal Corporation's Medical Superintendent Deputation revoked
Transfer cancelled
Nashik: The Maharashtra Health Department has recently cancelled the deputation of Dr Tanaji Chavan, the medical superintendent of Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC). The department has instructed the Urban Development Department to reassign Dr. Chavan to his original post.
Dr. Chavan, who was serving under deputation at NMC, will now be reassigned to the regional referral hospital in Nashik city.
The decision comes after a calling attention motion was raised in the state legislative council by MLC Manisha Kayande on March 19 about the negligence by Chavan, and NMC's assistant medical officer, Prashant Shete.
In the motion, Kayande highlighted the death of a pregnant woman and her baby at a private hospital in Nashik last September, 2024. Following this, an investigation was conducted by the Maternal Death Research Committee. During the probe, investigators found a stock of drugs used for illegal abortion at the hospital.
