MARD members protest in Nanded on Wednesday against the treatment of the dean of Dr Shankarrao Chavan Government Medical College & Hospital
The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) has taken a stand in support of Dr Shankarrao Chavan Government Medical College & Hospital—where 35 deaths occurred in 48 hours—after a local MLA made the Nanded hospital dean clean its toilets. The association has condemned the public humiliation of the dean, Dr Shyamrao Wakode, who was forced to clean the toilets by Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde-led) MLA Hemant Patil.
“The unfortunate incident of multiple mortality that occurred in the Government Medical College was investigated by Central MARD after having elaborate discussions with the resident doctors of multiple departments of the said hospital, and it was clearly apparent that the reasons for the unfortunate event were primarily due to multifactorial causes which include a shortage of medical faculty, a shortage of class 3 and class 4 staff, medical servants, overall manpower, life-saving medicines, and resources,” the association said in a statement. An FIR has been registered against MLA Patil by Dr Wakode under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
