Haryana: Only 57 percent Doctors available on Duty says study
Rohtak: A recent internal survey of the health department conducted by the Haryana Civil Medical Services (HCMS) Association revealed sad state of healthcare as well as the casual attitude appointed by many healthcare professionals working with the state civil hospitals.
As the survey disclosed, approximately 43% of doctors in Haryana civil hospitals have been absent from their duties. With this high rate, indeed the unwanted absenteeism is hitting the healthcare services in the state.
According to the study, only 1,769 civil surgeons are working for the patients over the sanctioned posts of 3,228. The rest of the doctors are on long leave or have gone on to pursue PG courses, or are on deputation or have resigned.
The diminishing state of healthcare professionals has also hit the specialists at these civil hospitals, where out of 794 posts, only 620 are actually working in the state. Out of these 620 working doctors, only 552 are on active medical duty, while the remaining hold administrative positions in the department.
