Responding to theissue raised through an adjournment motion moved by Trinamool Congress MLA Sonali Guha and others, he said the situation at the hospital was frightening and asked the state health minister to look into it.
Guha said in the women's ward, a number of patients didn't have clothes. They didn't even have a towel to dry themselves after a bath.
Though patients are supposed to get articles of daily use at the government's expense, these could not be found. Even goods sent by their families disappeared.
There aren't enough essential medicines or sedatives either.
Male barbers visited the wards for female patients. For 280 patients, there are only six doctors.

The members and the President of Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS), West Bengal State Branch strongly condemn the ill treatment meted out towards the female indoor patients of Kolkata Pavlov Hospital. The members are shocked to learn about such incidents in a reputed Mental hospital in this era of so called modernisation. The persons responsible for such inhuman treatment are unfit to work in a Mental hospital; it also shows the indifferent attitude of the administration towards the plight of the mentally ill persons in general. It is our appeal to the higher authorities to look into this matter and take necessary sincere steps so that our patients may stay with dignity and honour in this hospital on a long term basis." Thanking You, Your Sincerely, Dr. Prabir Paul (9830028697)PresidentIndian Psychiatric Society, West Bengal State Branch Dr. Mainak Mukherjee (9434058275)Convenor, Website Task ForceIndian Psychiatric Society
