Jharkhand Government allows private practice, but with riders

Ranchi: Reversing the earlier decision of a blanket ban on private practice by government doctors, the Jharkhand government is now going to allow doctors to hold private practice. The condition laid down by the government, however, specified that this will be allowed only after duty hours.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that in the month of August, the state health department had directed 1800 doctors to stop private practice. Aiming to discourage government doctors from private practice, the department had also issued guidelines stating that there could not be full-fledged establishment in the name of the doctor or even in the name of a relative or a kin. Stringent tabs have also been put on doctors towards private practice in government residences as well as within 500 metres from the place of their posting.

The move had met with immediate opposition from the medical fraternity with the Jharkhand State Health Services Association (JSHSA) as well as IMA who had threatened mass resignation by these 1800 doctors on October 15 over this and 19 other demands.
