Hyderabad: Senior residents practicing across the state recently conducted a rally at Telangana State Medical Council's (TSMC) office in Koti protesting against council's decision to delay registration of their degrees. This comes in the background of the change in the law regarding government service in the state.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported about the removal of one-year government service announced by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. The Telangana Medical Practitioners Registration (Amendment) Bill, 2018 was tabled in the legislative assembly including the change, and accordingly, a gazette notification was issued. Now, the Post Graduates (PGs) can register their degrees with the council soon after passing the course.
As per a recent report in The New Indian Express, a senior official from Health department confirmed that orders were passed to TSMC to allow the senior residents to register their degrees. 'They can get the registration and complete the one-year service. Else, they will be at the disadvantage as their juniors will apply to jobs early and pursue other options," the official stated.
This change in the law has indeed created a problem for existing doctors who are currently doing their compulsory government service based on the last year's regulation.
