Students from Chhatra AJSU recently voiced their concerns about the state of affairs at SNMMCH, a local medical college and hospital. Led by State General Secretary Vishal Mahato, the group presented a formal memorandum to Dr. S.K. Chaurasia, the superintendent of SNMMCH, outlining several areas needing urgent improvement.
Demands for Improvement at SNMMCH
The memorandum specifically calls for a thorough investigation into alleged financial irregularities within the medical college and hospital. Furthermore, the students are pushing for consequences for doctors who are frequently absent from their duties. The students are trying to make positive changes for both patients and hospital employees.
- Investigate financial irregularities.
- Take action against absent doctors.
- Prohibit medical representatives in the OPD.
- Ensure senior doctor presence in the emergency department.
Specific Issues Raised by Students
One key demand is to prohibit medical representatives from entering the OPD, or Outpatient Department. This request aims to reduce potential disruptions and ensure that patient care remains the top priority. Moreover, the students insisted that senior doctors be consistently present in the emergency department, where critical medical situations require experienced professionals.
Vishal Mahato, State General Secretary, stated, “We are tired of the mismanagement and lack of accountability.” He further emphasized the necessity for immediate action, stating that the hospital must prioritize patient care and address the identified problems without delay. The students are optimistic that their efforts will lead to meaningful improvements at SNMMCH.
