Fourth class contact employees create ruckus over treatment of their supervisor SUB Put allegations on doctors for not attending him for hours
Family members and fourth class contract employees of Sayaji hospital create a ruckus inside the hospital after their supervisor was not given treatment by the on-duty doctors. They put allegations on doctors for not attending their supervisor for nearly one hour of admission after tested positive of Coronavirus.
About 400 class four employees are on duty in various departments including the COVID Center at Sayaji Hospital. Prakash Rathore is the Supervisor of the employees working on contract and oversees the operations carried out by the staff in various wards of the hospital, including the COVID Center.
Prakash was taken to Sayaji hospital at 5 pm on Monday after he had difficulty in breathing where he tested positive for Corona. He was then admitted to the COVID ward. A large number of employees, including female contract employees gathered, when they were informed that he tested positive. Prakash’s brother alleged that Prakash was admitted to Sayaji Hospital at 5 p.m and till 12 midnight, no treatment was started by the doctors, only a tablet was given to him. He said that its unfortunate as his brother is the supervisor of the contract staff at Sayaji Hospital and he did not get proper treatment.
Employees raised slogans against the hospital alleging that he was not getting proper treatment. They risked their lives every day by taking care of patients which includes the Corona positive admitted in COVID Wards. No facilities are given to them but they are doing their work with dedication. If they get tested then all of them will test positive of the virus. The supervisor is currently admitted to the hospital and if he is not receiving proper treatment then what should they expect if employees like them are admitted.
Sayaji Hospital Superintendent Dr. Ranjan Aiyyar said that Prakash Rathore is being treated on the fifth floor of the COVID Center at Sayaji Hospital. Adequate care is being taken by the doctors to ensure that he gets proper treatment. For them, everyone is same and is being treated with care.
