After committee’s adverse findings, nine members of the teaching faculty tender their resignations
Resident doctors want ophthalmology dept head Dr Ragini Parekh and ex-dean Dr Tatya Rao Lahane transferred
The crisis in JJ hospital and medical college deepened further on Wednesday, as nine members of the teaching faculty, including honorary doctors of the Ophthalmology Department, submitted their resignations to the state medical education secretary. Also on Wednesday, 750 resident doctors went on an indefinite strike demanding the transfer of the department’s head and former dean. While the resident doctors will currently handle only emergencies, this fight between them and the faculty will eventually hamper routine health services.
It seems that no one is ready to back off, neither resident doctors, nor the top faculty of the Ophthalmology Department of JJ Hospital. Almost a week back the resident doctors of the Department wrote a letter to the dean complaining about several major issues, including lack of surgical hands-on experience, academic and research activities, unpleasant and obscene language directed towards them, and much more by the top faculty.
