T’gana hospital employee quits over Covid deaths
Hyderabad: 14.07.2020
A hospital superintendent in Telangana’s Nizamabad district resigned on Monday, owning moral responsibility for the recent deaths of three Covid-19 patients.
Government General Hospital superintendent Dr M Nageshwara Rao on Monday resigned days after the hospital was embroiled in a controversy when one of the bodies was taken in an auto after hospital staff failed to follow due protocol.
Dr Rao sent his resignation to the director of medical education (DME). Though he did not take calls, he said ‘yes’ in response to a message if he had put in his papers.
Asked why he quit, Dr Rao, whose several family members were Covid-19 positive but he continued to work in office, responded saying: “Due to personal reasons.”
Those working closely with the doctor said he was hurt over the criticism in the wake of three Covid-19 deaths and a body being transported in an auto. TNN
