Private Practice Ban in AP: Doctors likely to quit govt service
Amravati: Upset with the State's move to ban the private practice is likely to have a detrimental effect, as the government doctors are now intending to walk out and quit their service in the public sector.
As per a recent media report in TOI, the move is not welcomed by the practising government doctors who have strongly condemned the state's proposal stating committee did not consult medical professionals associated with government hospitals in this regard before proposing the ban.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the Healthcare sector in Andhra Pradesh would see major revamp, as a high-level expert committee had made several practice-changing recommendations including a ban on private practice by government doctors, and hike in their salary.
The committee had all in all submitted 100 recommendations that included urgent filling up of vacant posts in government hospitals of the state. Observing the public healthcare sector lacked "clarity and responsibility," an expert committee, for a comprehensive review of the sector in Andhra Pradesh, submitted its recommendations, suggesting among other things a ban on private practice by government doctors.
