At least 12 doctors from various departments at the government medical university hospital in Kozhikode were transferred to the governmental Faculty of Medicine in Wayanad on the basis of a work organization.
According to sources, the order of the transfer of doctors was issued 4 June. They come from departments such as anesthesia, ophthalmology, gynecology, pediatrics, pharmacology, microbiology, community medicine, anatomy and forensic medicine.
This is happening at a time when the institution faced peaks of patients suffering from seasonal diseases such as leptospirosis, dengue fever, hepatitis and and influenza. He learns that the transfer is due to a planned visit to the National Medical Commission (NMC) to Wayanad Medical College. It is to assess problems such as infrastructure and the strength of the faculty. Sources said that doctors from medical faculties in Thrissur, Kottayam, Alappuzha and Thiruvananthapuram were also transferred. A total of about 20 people were published.
However, it is not clear whether these members of the faculty will be replaced. This has led to concern for reduced the power of employees affecting academic activity and patient care. It is already difficult to get beds and many of them are forced to lie on the floor. After the focal fires back to the accident building and emergency care, the victim’s section was moved to the old MCH building, which is relatively overloaded. Patients, doctors and other employees are reportedly trying to adapt to the equipment.
