Govt doctors flag delays in salaries, administrative breakdown in TVVP

Telangana Government Doctors Association has raised alarm over delayed salaries and lack of administrative leadership in the Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad. With DCHS posts vacant and key decisions pending, healthcare services and staff morale are reportedly taking a severe hit

Hyderabad: The Telangana Government Doctors Association (TGGDA), representing government doctors in the State, on Thursday expressed serious concern over lack of timely release of salaries to doctors and staff and growing administrative breakdown in the Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (TVVP).

For months, doctors and staff of TVVP have not been receiving their salaries on time. Even on Thursday, salaries were not released. Regular District Coordinators of Hospital Services (DCHS) are yet to be appointed in districts. As a result, routine administrative tasks are piling up, leading to severe disruption of healthcare services and a sharp decline in staff morale, TGGDA said.

The root cause of this continuing crisis is the non-implementation of the Director of Secondary Health Services (DSHS). There has been no action, no decision, and no progress. This prolonged inaction has severely weakened TVVP’s administrative machinery, adversely impacting both hospital functioning and doctor welfare, TVVP said.

Key concerns:
• Release pending salaries to TVVP doctors
• Health cards yet to be issued to doctors and staff
• No regular DCHS officers posted in many districts
• Delayed re-deployment of staff causing non-functioning of 81 TVVP hospitals
• Promotions delayed for 2 years, resulting in loss of panel years
• Non-implementation of DSH causing ongoing administrative paralysis
