Misuse of Ambulance at Sassoon General Hospital

The gross misuse of Ambulance donated by BSNL Pune to Sassoon General Hospital has come to light. Ambulance is for the purpose of ferrying patients or accident victims.

But in Sassoon General Hospital, it is not used for patients but for making joy rides and for irrelevant purposes. Recently a doctor captured a photo of the ambulance ferrying household goods of a lady Administrative Officer Mrs. Mumtaz Pathan of the BJMC. This pix would be uploaded on the web soon, which will expose how the Ambulance is being misused by one and all.

There are many incidents were misuse of official position by the acting dean and other officials have come to light. A RTI applicant who sought information of the Ambulance and its use, was stunned to find that it was used for stupid reasons, even for ferrying cleaning brooms and for paying electricity bills. On some occasion it was used for ferrying officials on city and outstation tours.

Senior doctors, lecturers, professors and head of departments are questioning the irregularities by the acting dean. Is this person fit to occupy the chair of the dean, is the question they are raising in the corridors of the BJMC.

A little bird gossiped that a discreet enquiry by the CID has been ordered by the government against the acting dean and some others. Hope things will turn for good after the discreet inquiries.

Time for government to act and take serious note of the gross misuse of Ambulance meant for patients and accident victims. Log book needs to be checked and verified as to how many patients have been ferried in the BSNL Ambulance since it was handed over to the hospital.

Corruption and irregularities in BJMC and Sassoon hospital are not astonishing or something new. That's the hallmark of the administration run by the honcho of BJMC. Good CID is doing discreet inquiries. Those guilty deserve jail and not bail. Shamless characters, thick skinned.
