“The government spends crores, but I am pained to see the situation here,” he remarked. The restrooms haven’t been cleaned in weeks. The hospital’s wards have locked restrooms. In toilets, there is no water.
Doctor Association Slams Patil
The Maharashtra State Association of Resident Doctors criticized Patil’s behaviour and requested an unconditional apology from the Shiv Sena MP. The body claimed in a statement that the dean was made to clean restrooms in the open and that it was made sure to be done in front of the media to create a spectacle for political mileage.
Healthcare System in Crisis
“After witnessing the incident, the doctors and the lower-level members of the college administration’s top brass are left with a sense of hopelessness and despair that, despite their best efforts to manage patients in the face of a severe lack of resources, they are being made the scapegoats of the administration’s failure to provide high-quality healthcare.”
