The gynaecology department is in absolute mess, as it suffers from shortage of beds in the ward to accommodate the patients. The causality word is not different. The panel was shocked and astonished to find that the lone neurosurgeon posted in the hospital, Dr Pradip Kumar Acharya, has been transferred to Sambalpur to replace a gynaecologist.
The panel blamed the state government as well as the Capital Hospital authorities for the mess they have created.
