PG degrees to be awarded only after doctors complete a bond service of 3-5 years: HP proposes new plan
Advertisement
Shimla: The government of Himachal Pradesh is at the onset of framing policies for doctors wherein a compulsory bond service of three to five years will have to be observed by the doctors, without which they won't be handed over their degrees
The bond service will have to be observed after the completion of their post-graduate degree from any of the government medical colleges in Himachal. The state currently has 6 government medical colleges including Indira Gandhi medical college, Simla, Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College, Tanda; Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar Government Medical College, Nahan, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Government Medical College, Mandi; Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru Government Medical College and Hospital, Chamba.
As per recent media reports, the state government reeling under the shortage of qualified medical practitioners especially specialists is planning to impose a compulsory service for those who have passed their PG medical from the government medical colleges in the state. Not just this, the government is also mulling to relate it to the grant of degree, which will be only handed over after completion of the service
