Sources told Excelsior that the Medical Superintendent (MS) of Mother and Child Hospital (MCH) Sopore, Dr Syed Masood, has submitted his resignation to Department of Health. Masood is also Block Medical Officer (BMO) of Sub-District Hospital (SDH) Sopore and he was given additional charge of MCH as MC.
Sources revealed that Dr Masood has written to the health authorities about the “intimidation” by a particular political party and said that that he is being told to bypass the orders of apex authorities. It has been learnt that the MS is being blamed for shifting of the MCH from an old block to new block.
