Delhi Govt sets up panel to recruit Junior Doctors
recruitment
New Delhi: Addressing a key concern over the recruitment process of junior and senior resident doctors, the Delhi State Health Department recently approved the formation of a centralized committee to look after the recruitment of doctors and directed hospitals not to engage in direct recruitment.
The committee will have four members including a resident doctor and will be led by the Dean of Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC). Due to the creation of the committee, hospitals will no longer have the authority to directly recruit junior and senior resident doctors.
This decision comes after mounting pressure from medical professionals, who have alleged corruption and favouritism in the hiring process of state-run government hospitals. A delegation of doctors led by the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) met with Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on August 23 raising the issue.
