The three-member committee at Sir JJ Hospital has concluded that the allegations levelled by the resident doctors against the top faculty are prima facie true in nature. The committee found irregularities in academic sessions and training at the Opthalmology Department, which is a clear violation of guidelines set by the National Medical Commission (NMC). After this, the dean has formed another committee to streamline the academic work in the department.
On 25 May the resident doctors of the Ophthalmology Department of JJ Hospital and Medical College had written a complaint letter about the top faculty doctor in the Opthalmology Department, stating there is a lack of surgical and academic opportunities. The complaint letter to the dean alleged that Dr T P Lahane (ex-dean and ex-DMER director), along with Dr Ragini Parekh (Head of the Department), run the department dictatorially, clearly violating NMC guidelines at multiple levels. It was also claimed that the duo perform almost all the surgeries in the department. Extremely negligible attention was paid to the academics of the residents. After these allegations, the dean formed a 3-member committee to investigate them.
