Dean of Rewa Medical College Ousted After Mother and Newborn Death

Kalpana Mishra, a patient at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, died along with her newborn baby under circumstances that prompted immediate scrutiny. The tragic incident has intensified public and administrative attention on the hospital's obstetric care standards.
In response, the state health authorities suspended two doctors and two nursing staff directly involved in the case pending a formal inquiry. The suspensions were announced as part of a broader effort to ensure accountability and prevent similar lapses.
The administrative fallout extended to the affiliated Rewa Medical College, where Dean Sunil Agrawal was relieved of his duties. The college's governing body appointed Garg as the new dean to oversee the institution during the ongoing investigation and to restore confidence among students and staff.
Officials emphasized that the actions are procedural and do not imply guilt, but are intended to facilitate a transparent review of clinical and managerial practices at the hospital and college.
