After a series of complaints were raised about BIMS and the treatment given there.
The director of BIMS Dr Vinay Dastikoppa has been sent on a compulsory leave.
Citing dereliction in duty at BIMS, District surgeon Dr. Kahaji has issued orders of relieving 7 nurses, including the nursing superintendent.
Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi had said, The service here is the worst. I am not sure in which language I should speak to these thick-skinned officers.” He also took BIMS director Vinay Dastikop and the district health officer to task over the lack of sanitisation at the hospital.
Taking stock of the situation BSY has now said that a competent IAS grade officer would be appointed as an administrator for BIMS in the next 2-3 days.
Why not appoint officials from the WHO to oversee the covid situation in Karnataka & all districts ? I am sure they will be in a good position to work with the IAS officers at all district hospitals across the state & work towards a better health infrastructure as one of the guidelines in their job designation.
