Department of health and family welfare principal secretary MK Rout on Saturday warned all protesting professors of Raipur Medical College and Hospital to return to work or submit their resignations in proper format if they don’t want to continue.
Rout said the Government will not bow down to the resignation pressure the professors were building. If they want to resign, let them do it in proper format. If they don’t work, somebody else will work in their place, he said.
The State Government dismissed hospital associate professor Dr Abha Daharwal from job recently after allegation of neglect in treatments of rape victim girl turn out correct after official enquiry.
Protesting the Government action against Daharwal, seven other doctors of the hospital submitted their resignation to the hospital dean Dr Ashok Chandrakar. The resignations were later forwarded to the State authorities.
Terming the action against Daharwal as unjustified, a delegation led by the chairman of professor association Dr RK Singh met director of health education Dr Subir Mukherjee and demanded that the Government revoked the decision.
Jyoti Jaisawal, a doctor who is one of those resigned said they have held a meeting and it was decided to protest the dismissal. She said all the doctors have submitted their resignation by putting signature on a piece of paper.
It is unjustified to take action against a doctor especially when there was no complained filed by the relatives of the patient.
