Staff quarters too are poorly maintained, they said.Sheetal Kirtikar, daughter of Sainath Kirtikar, was admitted to GMCH two days ago with fever. Aurangabad: A 14-year-old girl, daughter of a class IV employee at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), died while under treatment for dengue on Friday morning. The family resides at the staff quarters within the premises of the government hospital.Members of the staff were furious that such a death could happen in a family of one of their own. “When our staff goes to clean or repair pipelines, the illegal occupants, sometimes inebriated, pose trouble,” Zine said.Residents said GMCH was just washing its hands of the responsibility of maintaining the staff quarters to standards that were acceptable. They have since been discharged.Drainage and drinking water pipes in the staff quarters are broken or leaking, leading to puddles of drain water near the building that are filled with solid waste..
