The Bhabha Hospital nurses protesting on the premises
After Wockhardt Hospital, Bandra's KB Bhabha Hospital, one of the civic body's isolation facilities, had to quarantine 40 of its nurses and doctors on Wednesday after a 36-year-old patient who died in the ICU on April 7 tested positive after death. Staff members of both Bandra Bhabha and KEM Hospitals levelled allegations of mismanagement against the administration and staged protests at both hospitals.
'No proper planning'
A 39-year-old nurse who works at Bhabha hospital alleged that there is no proper planning on how to deal with COVID-19 patients at the hospital. "The COVID-19 wards are on the fourth and eighth floor. The positive and suspected patients are kept together and they use the same bathroom. A 26-day-old baby who is a suspected case is kept with all the adults when there should be separate arrangements made for infants," said the nurse.
