CENTRAL ORGANISATION OF RESIDENT DOCTORS- AN INCEPTION
As everyone knows that in recent months doctors from various states have gone for strike. In Feb.2015 & June 2015 FORDA, in July 2015 MARD & this week KARD went for it, demanding better facilities at hospitals like availability of generic drugs, more number of OT tables, conducive environment and most of all security concerns for resident doctors. What did we get in return, ASSURANCES and nothing much.
After much of brain storming with representatives from all states we have realized that we need one national organization for the interests of resident doctors. We have decided to take our issues to the highest of the authorities. The few points of concern now are :

After much of brain storming with representatives from all states we have realized that we need one national organization for the interests of resident doctors. We have decided to take our issues to the highest of the authorities. The few points of concern now are :
- The Central Residency Scheme (CRS) 1992- On the basis of recommendations of the Kartar Singh committee, the Govt. of India introduced a Residency Scheme. Few elements of residency scheme never came into application like providing residential accommodation, free electricity & water. Hours of work: In the CRS 1992, it is clearly mentioned that continuous active duty for resident doctors will not normally exceed 12hours/day. Subject to exigencies of the work of resident doctors, they will be allowed one weekly holiday by rotation. The resident doctors will also required to be on call duty not exceeding 12 hours a day. The resident doctors should ordinarily work for 48 hours/week & not more than 12 hours at a stretch.
Why the state governments have failed to implement CRS? What did MCI do for implementation of CRS? Why Union Govt. of India never took any cognizance of it ?
