SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS
by VENKATARAMAN RAMACHANDRAN on Apr 07, 2008 02:21 PM

It is a very disturbing news. We produce Doctors from the Tax Payers Money, and export them without charging anything to other Countries. Even we control rice export, but we are not controlling the Doctors' leaving India after finishing their qualification. We should put a stop on this, so that the qualified Doctors serve in India. They should not receive their original Certificates, before completion of minimum 10 years service in India, so that the shortage of Doctors can be minimised. Mr. Peter Knightsly, a writer in the UK, had written about the Indian Aid to U.K. Medical Services - there are more than 10,000 Indian Doctors working in the U.K. If they have to train 10,000 Doctors, it will cost the British Government an average of PDS.STG.100,000 per doctor, whereas they got all these Doctors without a penny spending, resulting in Indian Aid to British Medical profession several billion Pounds. All these doctors were qualified from the Indian Tax Payers money. Medical Education should not be free, and should collect every penny from the Doctors. No Reservations should be given for MBBS Seats.
Medical colleges should work Double Shift, so that the existing infrasture can be utilised to an optimum level. Salaries for Doctors - Both Private & Government - should be at a reasonable level - minimum of Rs.30,000/- per month from the beginning, with an average increase of 7 to 10% per year.
