Maharashtra : Administrative tasks of 5 hospitals handed over to 4 IAS officers to relieve doctors

The Maharashtra government has deputed four IAS officers to handle administrative tasks at five public hospitals of Mumbai so that doctors can focus on work related to medical care.

The responsibility of Nair Hospital has been given to Madan Nagargoje (IAS:2007:MH)) while Ajit Patil (IAS:2007:MH) will oversee the functioning of KEM Hospital. Balaji Manjule (IAS:2009:MH) has been deputed to Sion Hospital. Sushil Khodvekar (IAS:2011:MH) will look after two state run hospitals- GT and JJ.
