Faculty Attendance
Bhopal: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a notice to the Gandhi Medical College (GMC), Bhopal, over the failure of the faculty of the medical college to mark their attendance, Dainik Bhaskar has reported.
Faculty members in altogether 20 departments of the medical college are reportedly not marking their attendance, and the Apex Medical Commission has taken cognisance of the issue.
Apart from the faculty attendance, NMC has also found that tests are not being conducted properly in the microbiology department, and a smaller number of tests are being done in the pathology department than the capacity.
Further, two doctors- Dr. Sharma and Dr. Bairwa have been issued notice for not submitting their income certificates to the Commission.
As per the latest media report by Dainik Bhaskar, NMC has issued the notice on these four points, and it has also warned to impose a penalty of Rs 4 crore for not responding to the notice within 7 days.
Meanwhile, commenting on the matter, the Dean of the GMC, Dr. Kavita N Singh, explained that the attendance of some of the faculty could not be recorded as they were on leave.
Apart from this, Dr. Singh also pointed out that there was a shortage of faculty in the medical college with respect to 250 MBBS seats. However, she assured that this faculty shortage is being addressed.
She also informed that Microbiology and pathology tests are also being done. However, due to the lack of link with the HMIS system, the reports are not reaching the Commission.
The GMC Dean also informed that the college was responding to the notice issued by the Apex Medical Commission.
Dainik Bhaskar has reported that apart from Gandhi Medical College, notices have been issued to 3 other medical colleges regarding other issues including the issue of medical college faculties not marking their attendance.
