February 23rd, 2010 - 10:24 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Feb 23 (IANS) At least seven senior doctors have quit the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) during the last year, Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad told the Rajya Sabha Tuesday.
A total of seven faculty members - three professors, three associate professors and one additional professor - have left AIIMS in one year, he said in a written reply, adding they had “either resigned or taken voluntary retirement from service on personal grounds”.

Those who have left the institute are Rohini Handa and Ashok Kumar (both professors in the department of medicine), R.K. Sharma, an additional professor of forensic medicine, S.C. Tiwari (professor in nephrology department), Sumit Singh (associate professor of neurology), K. K. Handa (associate professor ENT) and Rajiv Gupta (associate professor of medicine).
