Dr. Sushrut Ghaisas, a doctor in Pune, has resigned from Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital. He faced many threats and a lot of anger from the public after a pregnant woman, Tanisha Bhise, died. She needed urgent medical help but wasn’t admitted to the hospital because she couldn’t pay the required deposit.
This sad event started many talks about the rules in hospitals and how they should help patients, especially those in emergencies. People are worried that money issues can stop patients from getting the care they need. Dr. Ghaisas’ resignation shows how difficult it’s to balance hospital rules with patient care in India.
The hospital has accepted Dr. Ghaisas’ resignation and will let the board of trustees decide what to do next. Even though he’s leaving, Dr. Ghaisas will finish his planned surgeries before officially leaving the hospital.
The situation got worse when some members of the BJP’s women’s group damaged Dr. Ghaisas’ mother’s clinic. This showed how upset people were about the situation. The threats and anger made it hard for Dr. Ghaisas to work and keep his family safe.
In his resignation, Dr. Ghaisas said that the stress from all this was too much for him. This incident has made other doctors in Pune think about how hospitals handle money and emergency cases.
This case could bring changes to hospital rules, especially about how they accept patients in urgent situations. Dr. Ghaisas’ resignation is a reminder of how important it’s to make sure that patients can get the care they need without worrying about money.
