The stastics says , India has just one doctor for every 1,700 people, while the global ratio is one doctor for every 670 persons. It’s estimated that 60,000 Indian physicians work abroad.
But what our country needs is more number of highly skilled family physicians at rural level .
we have alternative stream of physicians under "AYUSH" category who are serving large section of rural people.
so that india has ratio of 1 DOCTOR (allopathy + ayush ) for every 600 people which is the ideal standard prescribed by WHO.
We have enough doctors . we don't need more docors or more medical colleges.
what is the need of hour is -
The Health Ministry’s proposed National Commission for Human Resources for Health (NCHRH) Bill 2011--under the consideration of Parliament---aims to curb the frequent flying trend of the doctors which is posing a severe strain on the healthcare sector.
As per Clause 59 of the proposed Bill, every medical professional will be bound to serve at least three years in the country after acquiring higher skills or education outside India in the field of health. In case they fail to do so, their name would be removed from the National Register or the state register. The Bill strives to regulate standards of health education in the country.
