CAG Exposes Medical Council Lapse: 248 Doctors Granted NOC Without Fulfilling Bond Conditions
Dehradun: Highlighting issues in the functioning of the Uttrakhand Medical Council, the Performance Audit Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) revealed that 248 bonded doctors obtained NOC from the medical council without fulfilling the conditions of the bond.
This was reflected in the CAG Report on Public Health Infrastructure and Management of Health Services for the year ended 31 March 2022. Among the several issues that the report discussed includes the functioning of the State Medical Council. One of the issues the CAG pointed out was regarding bonded doctors obtaining NOC from the State Medical Council without complying with the bond conditions.
"Lack of coordination between the Medical College, DG, MH&FW and State Medical Council allowed 248 bonded doctors to obtain NOC from the State Medical Council without fulfilling the conditions of the bond," the report mentioned.
This was accepted by the State Medical Council as well and the Council further stated that the issuance of NOC to the bonded candidates cannot be restricted by the State Medical Council without the coordination of all departments, mentioned the report.
