After two weeks of protests by resident doctors of JJ Hospital against Dr Mahendra Kura, the head of the dermatology department, over allegations of harassment and medical negligence, their struggles paid off as Dr Kura was transferred from the hospital to Sambhaji Nagar on Thursday.
The development comes on the same day when about 900 resident doctors at JJ Hospital struck work, protesting the government’s delayed response in the matter even after a report verifying the allegations was submitted to the government by the medical education department on December 19.
