Unplanned and hasty transfers taken up by the health department, at the behest of the State government have resulted in a situation where Senior Professors and Associate Professors with decades of experience in Radiology have been posted to Area Hospitals in districts lacking high-end medical infrastructure including Cath labs.
All medical services including outpatient, electives, ward duties and emergency care will continue to function without disruption from Saturday, the TJUDA on Friday said.
The members of Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA), who are boycotting electives and outpatient duties in government hospitals demanding justice for the trainee doctor in Kolkata, met Health Minister, Damodar Raja Narasimha on Monday and demanded implementation of Special Protection Force (SPF) in all medical colleges.
The State government has allowed nine government teaching hospitals to offer a total of 860 seats in BSc allied health sciences from this academic year, i.e. 2022-23
Teaching hospitals across Telangana will start conducting more number of cataract, trauma, ENT and cardiac surgeries, instead of referring patients to standalone specialty hospitals like Koti ENT Hospital and Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital in Mehdipatnam.
Almost all the sanctioned 7007 posts for the upcoming new medical colleges consist of clinical and administrative posts for various medical departments that are needed to establish teaching hospitals.
The principals, directors and superintendents of hospitals are requested to monitor non-Covid and Covid patient care services in their respective hospitals, DME Dr K Ramesh Reddy directed.
Telangana NRI Mahender Reddy donated 10 oxygen concentrators to the government general hospital of Suryapet which were handed over to the hospital by the Energy Minister
The recruited Assistant Professors, who have to undergo certificate verification process on November 19 at DME office, Koti, will go a long way in addressing the shortage of teaching faculty.
