GMCH

In a shocking incident, an ambulance gifted to Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) ambulance by authorities at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur, for medical purposes, has been getting used for transporting lunch boxes, vegetables, cylinder, beds, blankets, etc. As reported in a Marathi daily Punyanagari, the ambulance with registration number MH 31 FC 4642 was gifted around six to seven months back to GMC.

Shockingly, as per the same report, the same ambulance was also used for corpses of COVID-19 positive as well as negative patients. However, Dr Snehal Shambharkar, PRO at GMCH, said that the hospital didn’t come across any such information or incident. A month ago, a COVID-19 positive patient met with an accident after the brakes of one of the ambulances (in a shoddy condition) failed.
