Maha doctors body condemns public suspension of Goa hospital CMO by Health minister

Mumbai, June 10 (UNI) Maharashtra Senior Resident Doctors’ Association (MSRDA), a body of the state doctors, wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, condemning the public suspension of the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) at Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) by the state’s Health Minister Vishwajit Rane, according to a statement issued here on Tuesday.
The incident occurred on June seven, when the Health Minister reportedly suspended the CMO in full public view, allegedly without prior inquiry or explanation, but the suspension was later reversed by the Chief Minister, the Association described the incident as a serious affront to the dignity and morale of medical professionals nationwide.
In a powerful show of solidarity and a strongly worded letter to the Prime Minister, MSRDA stated: “This episode is not merely a bureaucratic misstep; it is emblematic of a disturbing trend where doctors are made scapegoats for administrative or political gain.”
The Association recalled similar past incidents, including the assault on junior doctors in Kolkata in 2019 and other instances of verbal and physical abuse of medical personnel across the country, as part of a growing pattern of mistreatment.
