Srinagar: The Doctors Association of Kashmir has criticized the authorities for their alleged "stepmother-like treatment" with the medicos and consultants who are deployed in the new Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) across Jammu and Kashmir under deputation.
According to the association, the medicos working at deputation often have to perform duties of multipurpose officer instead of performing the task for which they have been particularly deployed.
President of Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK), Dr Suhail Naik stated that they have received complaints that senior doctors are forced to serve as junior residents in the new medical colleges. Naik suggested that in order to ensure proper patient care, the services of these consultants, specialists, and super-specialist doctors from the health department should be utilized in analogy with faculty members of GMCHs.
