Delhi: Stressing the need of improving the healthcare infrastructure of the nation from the grassroots, the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) has submitted a letter to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi demanding the creation of Indian Medical Service (IMS) Cadre.
The association stated in the letter that a cadre of administrators with medical backgrounds will be able to address various technical issues related to healthcare with more proficiency and fluency.
The demand of a separate cadre for Health Service in India, in line with the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) etc., is a long-pending one.
Previously, Medical Dialogues reported that the demand of forming Indian Medical Services (IMS) on the lines of IAS, IPS and IFS got a new push after the Parliamentary Committee expressed its views in favour of exploring the possibilities of setting up such exclusive Service aiming to bring a major change in the healthcare sector across the country. However, there was no further news of any development. Hence, FORDA requested the PM to immediately take steps to create the Indian Medical Service (IMS) Cadre.
