UP Govt Doctors Leave Jobs for Private Hospitals over Better Incentives, Work Flexibility
Lucknow: A concerning trend is unfolding in Lucknow's healthcare landscape, as more senior doctors from prestigious government medical institutes are resigning to join private corporate hospitals. This migration, particularly from institutions like King George's Medical University (KGMU), Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS), and Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), poses a significant threat to the quality of healthcare services available to the public.
The establishment of corporate hospitals in the city has coincided with this trend, creating a competitive environment that offers financial incentives, improved work conditions, and greater flexibility—a combination that is proving hard for many doctors to resist. According to the Times of India, over the past five years, more than two dozen specialists have departed from these institutions, leading to a concerning shortage of experienced faculty.
