Even though the Parliamentary Standing Committee recommended options like mandatory rural posting after an MBBS internship, increasing the number of nursing graduates and postgraduates who could be posted at the health sub-centre level, as well as sending AYUSH professionals to health sub-centres,the UPA govt decided to go ahead with B.Sc community health course from 2013-14.
- IMA STRONGLY OPPOSED THIS COURSE.
- MCI vehemently denied to notify the course.
- parliamentary standing committee rejected the course.
still, the tuglaquian UPA govt proceeds undemocratically with this retrograde step,with an ulterior motive of by-passing the main stream medical graduates from the primary care.
if the govt is sincere to provide basic health care at the door steps of aam aadmi, it can use the services of lacs of unemployed nurses and thousands of unemployed MBBS graduates &AYUSH professionals.
Even with 50% of the budgetary allocation that is earmarked for B.Sc course,the govt can easily restructure the country's health care land scape with out disturbing the main stream medicine. suppression of medical profession, by hurling allegations of non-availability is equal to stamping the dog as mad before killing.
its high time that all rural people along with medical fraternity must unite to thwart this discriminatory health care delivery to rural populace.
IMA along with other sister medical organizations should come forward to identify and make a list of unemployed doctors willing to serve with reasonable salary in villages,to be submitted & represented to the parliament .
its the only way of protecting the main stream medicare in our country,apart from other measures which IMA has been taken since 4yrs.
As a responsible NGO, IMA & other sister medical organizations may consider to adopt those villages backward in health care .
The govt can consider and adopt mobile health care delivery to provide simple ,automated & affordable measures scalable to all over the country.
