Opposition piles up against increase in retirement age of AIIMS doctors
New Delhi: While the decision to increase the retirement age of AIIMS doctors, is nearing finalization, strong voices are being heard within the premier institution, against various aspects of the decision. While the Resident Doctors have outrightly rejected the proposal , calling it an insult to the youth, many senior faculties at the institute have demanded this move should only come with the implementation of rotational headships.
As the Governing Body of AIIMS cleared the retirement age for faculty as 67 years, the Faculty Association of the premier hospital said the new decision should be implemented only after the introduction of rotating headship for the various departments.
The Faculty Association of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Wednesday said even if the retirement age of the faculty members has been increased, there should be a rotation for the post of the head of the department and should not be held by the one holding it now.
