Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Feb 15: Throwing norms to winds, doctors who have remained posted for years together have never been transferred from one place to other, because of some interests or personal affairs.
Sources told Early Times that the doctors who have been posted from four years in various hospitals across the state should have been transferred to other places so that the new doctors could prove their mettle in health care.
"Unfortunately many efficient doctors who had not completed more than a year were transferred by the previous government due to personal interests of the ministers or bureaucrats, and were posted in far flung areas of border districts," sources told Early Times.
Sources further said that the various government hospitals across North Kashmir have been flooded by doctors, who were never transferred from past many years. At the same time the new faces that have completed their post graduation in medicine science from prestigious universities have been put at the back foot due to unavoidable reasons, otherwise they could be sent to these hospitals.
"Every year, four to five hundred doctors complete their degrees and then after they do specialization in various fields as general practice, gyanecology, dermatology, pediatric medicine, orthopedics, or many others, but gets posted hardly in rural areas due to political influence," said sources. Sources further said that there is a strong lobbyism of doctors who have political backing due to which they are not being transferred from the hospitals from past many years. As such the doctors are allowed to go for private practices in nearby of their residential quarters.
"It is also true that there are various hospitals in North Kashmir where there is not satisfactory strength of the doctors. In the various states of India there is a rule which is being considered as mandatory for a doctor to remain posted at a hospital for at least two years, and same thing should have been happened in Jammu and Kashmir, but here it is altogether vice versa," said sources.
Sources while quoting the doctors appealed Governor Narendra Nath Vohra to make a strategy with regard to transfer of doctors in the state so that doctor-patient relations can be making more effective. "Doctors who look at the patients in hospitals don't give their best there. These doctors prefer the patients to visit their clinics where they get the hefty sum of money," sources said. |
