Dr Maheshwari and Dr Bhati assumed their new roles immediately to ensure smooth operation and management of the medical college and hospital reports the Times of India.

Medical Dialogues team recently reported that Dr Rajeev Bagarhatta, principal of Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Medical College, and Dr Achal Sharma, superintendent, SMS Hospital have tendered their resignation from their posts voluntarily. While the state health department accepted the resignation of the two doctors, it removed Dr Sudhir Bhandari as the chairman of the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (SOTTO). This came after the Jaipur Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested three hospital employees in the sale and purchase of fake no-objection certificates (NOCs) for organ transplants racket.

The hospital administration has been under scrutiny due to the fake NOC for human organ transplant scandal over the past month. Both the state’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and Jaipur police are conducting separate investigations into alleged instances of fraudulent No-Objection Certificates (NoC) being issued for human organ transplants in the city. 
SMS Medical College and Hospital has been making headlines for different administrative challenges. Before the human organ transplant scandal, in April, the resident doctors at Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Medical College were on strike protesting against the suspension of 3 postgraduate medical students in the case of the delivery of a pregnant woman outside the labour room in the hospital premises.
