MGM Medical College enhances Safety Protocols by implementing Nightly Rounds

Indore: In response to the tragic rape and murder of a female postgraduate doctor in Kolkata, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has directed deans of medical colleges and hospital superintendents to conduct nightly rounds to enhance security measures. This initiative aims to improve security measures and ensure a safer environment for patients and hospital staff.

After the directive, Dr Sanjay Dixit, dean of MGM Medical College, has begun conducting nightly rounds at hospitals affiliated with the college, including MY Hospital, MTH, and Cancer Hospital. Dr. Dixit’s night rounds are part of a broader strategy to strengthen the hospital’s security infrastructure.

Dr Dixit is not only supervising security arrangements but also actively engaging with female doctors on duty to address any concerns they may have. Additionally, he is speaking with patients to ensure their safety and comfort. In line with the Chief Minister’s orders, hospitals have heightened security in less-trafficked areas, and superintendents are now conducting nightly rounds as well.  The primary goal of these night rounds is to create a safer environment for patients and staff.

Efforts are underway to upgrade the hospital’s security infrastructure, which includes installing new CCTV cameras throughout the facility to provide comprehensive surveillance and enhance monitoring capabilities. Improved security measures are being implemented at hospital entry and exit points, with security personnel patrolling to deter any anti-social activities. These measures aim to control access to the facility more effectively and prevent unauthorized entry.

As per the Free Press Journal, Dr Dixit said, “I am conducting rounds at all the hospitals alongside the superintendents. Security arrangements have also been strengthened at the hospitals,”

Dr Dixit’s initiative also focuses on improving the response time to potential security threats. By being present during late hours, he aims to quickly address any incidents and ensure that security protocols are followed rigorously.
