The future of Dr Mahendra Kura, the head of dermatology at JJ hospital, hangs in the balance as the government prepares to announce its decision. Medical Education Commissioner Rajiv Nivatkar confirmed this development after a meeting with resident doctors and the Minister of Medical Education, Hasan Mushrif. The meeting aimed to address allegations of medical negligence and harassment against Dr Kura.
For the past ten days, twenty-one resident doctors from the dermatology department have been on strike, demanding the complete removal of Dr Kura. If no action is taken, counterparts from other departments plan to join the strike starting December 28. An investigation led by Joint Director of Medical Education Dr Ajay Chandanwale has been concluded, and the report has been submitted to Rajiv Nivatkar. Following the report, Dr Kura was placed on a 15-day leave.
