400 Govt doctors face suspension in Uttarakhand for inactive membership
Dehradun: The Provincial Medical and Health Services Association (PMHS) Uttarakhand, the largest umbrella body of government doctors has suspended the membership of 400 doctors who have been inactive.
The association members made the significant decision to suspend the membership of the doctors after discovering that the newly joined and existing doctors had not renewed their membership and demonstrated unsatisfactory performance towards the association.
Hence, this decision was taken to ensure that all doctors within the association are up to date with their membership requirements and obligations. The association have strongly encouraged the doctor who has been suspended to renew their memberships before being reinstated.

In addition to this, the doctors' lack of involvement in the association's work was also discovered. As a result, the association has instructed Chief Medical Officers in all 13 districts to ensure that doctors actively participate in the association's work to get their concerns addressed.
The association members announced the suspension of the membership of the doctors during a meeting held in Dehradun on Saturday. Apart from deciding on the suspension of the membership in the meeting, the office-bearers also made other decisions regarding the smooth functioning of PMHS and upcoming elections.
Speaking to TOI, Dr Manoj Verma, secretary of PMHS Dehradun branch, said, “Every doctor’s say in matters related to policies is imperative so that a holistic view can be presented before the higher authorities.”
The Provincial Medical and Health Services is Uttarakhand's largest umbrella body of government doctors. The PMHS currently comprises 1,400 registered government doctors out of approximately 2,500 in the state.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the condition of the government hospitals in the US Nagar District has been deteriorating as many hospitals have reported a severe shortage of specialist doctors and basic healthcare facilities which is seriously affecting patient healthcare.
