All the doctors of the Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Hospital are being relieved of their duties from June 2.
Stating this a spokesman of the Synod has said that all the nine doctors, including the Medical Superintendent, had submitted resignation and since they had refused to change their stand, the Synod had no choice but to accept their resignation.
The spokesman said that it was “not correct” to stat ethat a clergyman had been put in charge of the Hospital. In actual fact, Rev C Jyrwa was appointed as administrative officer as a stop-gap arrangement. Meanwhile, Dr (Ms) R. Ropmay has been appointed as officiating Medical Superintendent of the Hospital.
