Kochi: The Kerala Government Medical College Teachers' Association (KGMCTA) has condemned the transfer of the superintendent of Alappuzha Medical College Hospital following a case of late delivery of dead bodies to the families of the deceased patients.
The association of medical college teachers has further criticized the attempt of the higher authorities to tie the entire responsibility of the incident to the superintendent, adding that the transfer is unnecessary especially when the superintendent has already sought voluntary retirement.
The superintendent of Alappuzha MCH, Dr Ramlal who served the facility for decades was transferred and Dr. Sajeev George Pulikkal has been appointed as the new superintendent of the college. This came after allegations were raised against the hospital that the relatives of two patients were notified days after the two patients died. There were strong protests against the hospital authorities as the relatives were not informed of the death even though they were still in the hospital. The government had said it would take strict action regarding the incident after which the transfer order was issued.
