Medical professionals at the Shastrinagar Hospital operated by the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation in Dombivli reported that they were attacked on Tuesday by Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre along with some of his supporters. This incident stemmed from a disagreement regarding the referral of a pregnant patient, resulting in a strike among the hospital staff.
According to the medical team, a pregnant woman was admitted to the facility for childbirth. Upon examination, they informed the family that the newborn might require care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). However, as all NICU beds were occupied, the family was advised to consider transferring the patient to another hospital if specialized neonatal treatment became necessary.
Hospital personnel claimed that this referral suggestion led to a confrontation, during which Mhatre and his associates allegedly entered the premises and physically assaulted a female doctor, two other doctors, and three nurses.
It was also reported that security personnel were obstructed from intervening during the assault.
