The Allahabad High Court has raised serious concerns regarding the operations of Moti Lal Nehru Medical College and its affiliated Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal ordered a high-level inquiry into allegations that government doctors are engaging in private practice, effectively creating a 'parallel medical industry.' The court noted that professors and lecturers are performing surgeries in private nursing homes, transferring patients from the public hospital. Despite state funding, the hospital's condition has worsened, attributed to the medical fraternity's failure to uphold governmental objectives. The court expressed frustration over the prolonged delays in constructing the cardiology department, which has been pending for 20 years. Furthermore, it highlighted the unacceptable living conditions of medical students in the college's hostels, emphasizing the need for adequate facilities for effective hospital functioning. The Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh has been tasked with overseeing the inquiry and construction projects, with the next hearing scheduled for May 26.
