RTI reveals stalled progress on Indian medical services cadre, doctors renew demands - Video
|
Overview
Over the years, members of the medical fraternity have been urging the Central Government to launch an Indian Medical Service Cadre on the lines of the Indian Administrative Service and Indian Police Service. Even though the Union Government had expressed its interest to set up a different cadre to especially cater to the need of the healthcare sector, a recent Right to Information (RTI) reply by the Government indicated that there has been no real development in this regard.
Replying to the RTI application filed by Dr. Aman Kaushik, the Central Government revealed that even though a cadre review committee to consider the proposal for a separate IMS cadre was set up in 2015, the said committee failed to meet after 2019.
