Govt Halts Doctor Transfers from Rohtak to Bhiwani

Rohtak: In a recent development, the proposed deputation of faculty members-cum-consultants from Pt BD Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS), Rohtak, to Pt Neki Ram Sharma Government Medical College (GMC), Bhiwani, has been put on hold until further notice. The move comes amid growing concerns about the impact of the deputation on patient care services at PGIMS, Rohtak.

According to news reports, the mass deputation — ordered ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled inauguration of the Bhiwani Medical College on April 14 — has strained essential medical services at the Rohtak facility.

Doctors from PGIMS are no longer required to report to Bhiwani, as the earlier order has been put on hold. The update was confirmed by PGIMS Director Dr. S.K. Singhal. Speaking to Tribune India, he said, “The decision to depute the faculty members-cum-consultants to Government Medical College at Bhiwani has been put on hold, and the doctors will not have to visit Bhiwani now.”
