Dr Santanu Sen removed from State medical Council

Dr Santanu Sen, former Trinamul Congress MP from Rajya Sabha (RS) and former president of the Rogi Kalyan Samity (RKS) of R G Kar Medical College Hospital, was removed from the West Bengal Medical Council (WBMC) on Friday, hardly two weeks after his party colleague Dr Sudipto Roy, Sreerampur MLA and the president of the council, had requested the state health department to remove the former.

Dr Roy had proposed the health department to nominate a new member to the WBMC as a replacement of Dr Sen.

Dr Sen was nominated by the state government as a representative in the state medical council. With his removal, the rivalry between the two doctors intensified, though both of them belong to the same political party.

Swasthya Bhaban would select his replacement soon, sources said.
