Kolkata: The West Bengal University of Health Sciences (WBUHS) is finding it tough to appoint a new principal and a medical superintendent-cum-vice principal (MSVP) for the College of Medicine & JNM hospital, Kalyani, as there has not been any response from the teachers. WBUHS had extended the date of application till Wednesday.
Officials said following the recent controversies at the hospital, many teachers are not willing to take administrative responsibility.
Earlier this month, National Medical Commission ordered removal of Abhijit Mukherjee as principal. Monidip Pal was given the charge of the new principal.
WBUHS runs this medical college directly, while other state-owned medical colleges are run by the health department. The matter has already been reported to Swasthya Bhavan.
There had been complaints about a syndicate operating in the college for over a year. The syndicate members were also allegedly involved in examination malpractices.
