A delegation of employees from the GMCH met the acting dean Dr Kailas Zine. Employees expressed displeasure over the denial of treatment to the employee. The employee who works as a lab technician in GMCH was sent back from the casualty ward on Tuesday. The delegation demanded that if an employee comes to the GMCH for treatment, he should be treated in a cooperative manner. Employees also demanded that a separate ward should be set up in the GMCH for the treatment of any person suffering from corona. State government class four employees association Suresh Aherkar, divisional vice president Ravindra Dabhade, Raju Chandrasekhar, Mohan Solat, Dalsingh Salampure and others were present.

Treatments was not denied

No one, from patients to staff, is denied treatment at GMCH. The staff concerned was demanding home isolation. But doctors in the GMCH cannot prescribe home isolation. Because the patient has to be followed up. So he was advised to go to Meltron covid care centre. Administration has ordered to only admit critical patients, said Dr Zine.
