India News | KEM Hospital Issues Notices to Six Staffers After Video Shows Paper Plates Made of Patient Reports

Mumbai, Jul 6 (PTI) The administration of the civic-run King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital here has issued show-cause notices to six staffers after a video showed paper plates made out of patient reports, an official said on Saturday.

Former mayor Kishori Pednekar took to 'X' to share a video of paper plates bearing the names of the hospital, patients and procedures.

Talking to PTI, KEM Dean Dr Sangeeta Ravat clarified that the plates were not from reports of patients.

"They are not patient reports. They are old folders of CT scans given to scrap dealers for being repurposed. The only mistake was that these scrap papers were not shredded before being given away," Dr Ravat said.
