Ace cardiologist Naresh Trehan on Wednesday decided to call it quits with the Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre (EHIRC). Announcing his decision, he said that he would be joining the Apollo Group of Hospitals along with a 'sizable' number of doctors and other medical staff of the Escorts Hospital.
The move came just two days after Trehan and Frotis' Director Shivender Mohan Singh announced truce in an out of court settlement. Trehan will start working at Apollo hospital as a surgeon from Monday.
<b>"I could not carry on with the Escorts after what happened in the last ten days. Though I rejoined the hospital, I was not able to do my best in that vitiated atmosphere. That's why I decided to join the Apollo Group of Hospitals," said Dr Trehan. He added that many doctors including Dr Yatin Mehta would be following his suit. </b>
Talking about his patients admitted at EHIRC, Dr Trehan said that he would be visiting the hospital for the next three days to ensure that his patients do not suffer.
However<b>, Dr Trehan had earlier claimed that he had to conduct surgeries for more than 50 of his patients at EHIRC. But it is not possible to carry out all these in a matter of just three or four days. Sources said that Trehan might ask his patients to get treated at the Apollo Hospitals, if they wished to be treated by him.</b>
Dr Trehan said that many hospitals came with offers ever since he was expelled from the Executive Director's post of Escorts. He, however, refused to comment on the reports that he was planning to give away 10 per cent stake he was holding with EHIRC to a member of the Ranbaxy group. "We had decided that the condition of resettlement would not made public," he said.
Industry too is keenly watching the developments. Dr Ashok Seth, head of cardiology at Max said, "We hope the relationship is fruitful and moves in the right direction."
