Mumbai: Nurses stage agitation at Bhabha Hospital to protest against beating of nurse

At Bhabha Hospital of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Kurla on Wednesday at 11:30 pm, a female patient and her relatives abused and beat up the nurse in the patient room. Enraged by this, the nurses staged a protest on Thursday morning demanding the immediate arrest of the patient's relatives and the appointment of a security guard in the patient room for the safety of the nurses.

Nurse Mohini Matere, who was on night duty in the women's ward at Bhabha Hospital in Kurla, asked relatives of the patients to leave the ward as the former wanted to give medicine to the patient. The girl, who was a minor patient at that time, refused to send her friends and relatives out. However, she told the patient and her relatives that apart from giving medicine to the patients, they have to clean the room, and since this is a women's room, men cannot stay late at night.

But the patient was not ready to listen to the patient. She took discharge from the hospital saying that she did not want to stay in the hospital. After some time she again came to the hospital with some of her relatives and abused Mohini Matere and beat her up. Matere told this incident to the head nurse and medical superintendent and filed a complaint in the police station. Enraged by this incident, the nurses protested without joining work on Thursday morning. The relatives of the concerned patient should be arrested. It was also demanded by the nurses that a security guard should be appointed in every room.

Meanwhile, in this regard, in the meeting of the nurses with the medical superintendent of the hospital, Padmashri Ahire, the head of the security guard pointed out the issue of not having enough security guards. Ahire assured the nurses that after discussing with the seniors, security guards will be appointed as soon as possible.
