KJP Hospital affairs
The Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Synod has accepted the resignation of Dr E.C. Syngkon, Medical Superintendent of the Khasi Hills Presbyterian Hospital, giving a new turn to the affairs of the prestigious missionary hospital of the North-East.
The Synod has appoionted a clergyman to man the post temporarily. Rev. C Jyrwa, the new Medical Superintendent of the hospital, is looking after the routine administrative affairs. The Reverend is the senior executive secretary of the Synod.
Dr Syngkon who is a distinguished medical practioner having 34 years of hospital service behind him, had sent in his letter of resignation sometime back following strong differences between the doctors and synod. As a sequel to the rift, the management had served show cause notices to the doctors who in protest had submitted en bloc resignation. The fate of the resignation letters have still remained unresolved.
