Himachal Pradesh High Court Stays Shifting of Gynaecology OPD from Kamla Nehru Hospital to IGMC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court has granted an interim stay on shifting the gynaecology OPD from Kamla Nehru Hospital to Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (IGMC) in Shimla. The stay follows a public interest litigation filed by Falma Chauhan of the All India Democratic Women's Association, citing concerns over inadequate infrastructure at IGMC and potential hardships for patients. The government supports the move, citing better facilities at IGMC, while opponents emphasize Kamla Nehru Hospital's historic significance and risks of overcrowding. Further hearings are scheduled for May 28.
