Lucknow: In a bid to address the shortage of doctors at government health facilities, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to implement an incentive-based model for doctors who wish to practice privately.
This means that the government is going to allow doctors to do private practice at government hospitals however under certain conditions.
A draft regarding this is under process at Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute and Hospital (KSSSCIH) in Lucknow which will later be followed by other institutions under the medical education department once the model becomes successful.

“Once the draft proposal is approved and implemented, fresh appointments will be made as per the incentive-based system,” said Prof RK Dhiman, director, of KSSSCIH.
Under the draft, the institute will start an incentive-based system for doctors who will receive incentives based on their performance and also get a share in the revenue. A major share of the institute’s earnings will go to the doctor, a part for research projects in the department concerned and a portion of the earning will go towards the infrastructure of the institute.
