While the senior doctors have shown acceptance to increasing the retirement age of doctors to 65, strong opposition has been shown to shifting doctors to non-administrative posts after the age of 62.
New Delhi : In the view of shortage of doctors, the Union government, under the leadership of PM Modi announced an increase the age of superannuation of the specialists of non-teaching and public health sub-cadres of Central Health Service and general duty medical officers of CHS to 65 years with effect from 31st May 2016. While the proposal was widely welcomed by senior government doctors throughout the country, seems like the corresponding decision of Ministry of Health of shifting doctors out of administrative posts, has not gone well with the medical practitioners.
Recently, In the wake of the government's decision to raise the superannuation age of doctors from the present 62 to 65 years, the Health Ministry decided that such professionals under the Central Health Scheme will serve in non-administrative posts between the age of 62 and 65 years. Its notification say
