These allegations, it was further pointed out “were based on false pretense and libelous in nature and were aimed at tarnishing the confidence amongst his professional peers incluidng his seniors and subordinates, international organizations and public at large.”

We are sorry if the above report has hurt the sentiments and feelings of anyone. We ourselves have never levelled any such allegations and for us each and every member of the medical profession, hospital administration is respectable and personally we have no ill will against anyone. The contents of the resignation letter were also published in comas verbatim. They are free to take any action against the former Dean who had levelled these allegations in his resignation letter. Keeping up the professional ethics, we have published this report and they are most welcome to share with us any action they take against the former Dean and we assure them that upholding professional ethics, we will keep our readers informed. The hospital administration is most welcome to share their side of the story which will get due coverage.
On our part during the last few months, we have given lot of coverage to the academic activities organized at Lady Reading Hospital and in future too we will be glad to highlight the contributions being made by the Lady Reading Hospital, its faculty and administration.
