Hours after resigning because the principal of the state-run R.G. Kar Medical School & Hospital in Kolkata on Monday, Sandip Ghosh was appointed because the principal of the Nationwide Medical School & Hospital (NMCH) by a notification from the West Bengal Well being Division. Ghosh tendered his resignation on Monday morning, citing “ethical duty,” three days following the rape and homicide of a postgraduate trainee physician at R.G. Kar Medical School & Hospital, which sparked widespread protests throughout the state.
The current appointment has shocked many, as Ghosh had introduced earlier that day his resignation not solely because the principal of R.G. Kar MCH but additionally from the state medical companies. He mentioned that his resignation was in response to the desires of the medical college students, junior medical doctors at R.G. Kar, and most people, following the rape and homicide of a second-year postgraduate pupil on the school the earlier week.
Well being Division sources indicated that whereas Ghosh’s resignation as principal of R.G. Kar was accepted, his resignation from state medical companies was not. Consequently, he has been appointed because the principal of NMCH with fast impact.
Ajay Ray, the previous principal of NMCH, has been reassigned as an officer on particular responsibility (OSD) within the state Well being Division. Surhrita Pal, the present OSD within the Well being Division, has been appointed as the brand new principal of R.G. Kar MCH.
Upon asserting his resignation, Ghosh expressed that he and his household had confronted a number of hostile feedback in current days, resulting in his choice to step down. Moreover, Ghosh alleged that he was the goal of a ‘political conspiracy’ orchestrated by a rival group.
He affirmed, “I’ve by no means engaged in any political video games.” The postgraduate trainee from the chest division of RG Kar Medical School & Hospital was found deceased with a number of accidents on Friday morning, shortly after attending a seminar corridor within the facility.
