Notices to 23 absentee Doctors at Maharaja Yeshwant Hospital of Indore

Twenty-three doctors of Maharaja Yeshwant Hospital (MYH) were served notices for being absent from the duty on Friday. Earlier in the day, SDM had conducted surprise inspection of the hospital wherein doctors were not found present on duty.

Dr Sanjay Dixit of MYH said officials of the district administration paid a visit to hospital thrice at 8.30 am, 9.00 am and 9.30 am and on they found all doctors absent.

Divisional commissioner had held a meeting of collector, dean and all HODs of hospital to review the working of hospital. After the meeting, the hospital staff was told to stick to self-discipline or else they should be ready to face the action. At the meeting, it was also decided that all wards of MYH from now onwards will have to display board with name and number of people right from doctors to health workers on duty so that patients can get in touch with the staff present on duty to get their grievances redressed.

The meeting was held to address the problem related to loopholes in the functioning of the one of the biggest government hospital of the state.

The commissioner has instructed the dean of MYH to put a display with name and contact number of all the person right from doctor to sweeper on duty in every ward so that patients can contact them in case of any problem. "We have asked to maintain a roster of people and duty and display it in every ward," said Prashar adding that till now roster was kept in dean's office and patients use to have no clue, who is on duty leading to inconvenience and lack of accountability. The new system will bring accountability.

It is to be noted a surprise visit was paid by the senior official of district administration on Friday morning and once again they found that large number of doctors were absent from their duty.

After the meeting commissioner has instructed to adopt self discipline and take measure to improve the working of the hospital or else be ready to face the action. ADM Alok Singh said that hospital administration has been asked to develop self discipline and ensure that people are present on duty, or else they will have to face action.

He further said that during their inspection it has come to fore that people face problem in getting medicine. Now it has been decided that every floor of the hospital will have medical distribution centre so that patients can get medicine on time. As of now there is only one medical store at ground floor and nurse use to distribute it.

In addition to this commissioner also expressed his displeasure over lack of cleanliness in the hospital. Right now hospital has outsourced the cleanliness work and contractor has hired 60 people but instead of performing cleanliness thrice in a day they are doing only once. Beside this 130 staff of ward boys are also not taking care of cleanliness. "Hospital has asked to ensure cleanliness thrice in a day," said Singh adding that hospital has also been asked to renew the maintenance contract.

"We found out the air-condition of the hospital is not working for last one and maintenance contract for it has lapsed several months back," said Singh adding that hospital has been asked to take care of maintenance work and ensure that all the machine and other facilities are working properly.
