After Goa min berates doctor, CM rejects his suspension
Panaji, June 8: Amid backlash from the medical fraternity and opposition parties over state health minister Vishwajit Rane berating a senior doctor and ordering his suspension in public view, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Sunday overruled the controversial decision. Rane had lashed out at Goa Medical College and Hospital’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Rudresh Kuttikar for allegedly misbehaving with patients during his surprise visit on Saturday and ordered his suspension. After a video of Rane berating the CMO in front of the staff went viral, the Goa branch of the Indian Medical Association condemned the minister’s action and urged authorities to immediately rescind the suspension and reinstate the doctor while ensuring a fair trial.
