It should take a step forward to achieve the goal of equitable healthcare for all, says Association
The Interns and Postgraduates Association of Tamil Nadu (IPAT) has urged the State government to take urgent measures to fill the vacant posts of super specialists on a priority basis. In a press release issued, IPAT said non-service postgraduates were usually accused by the government of not serving the compulsory bond of two years after completion of PG course. A total of 144 super speciality (DM/MCh) doctors passed out in 2020 from various government medical colleges across the State. None of them were given a chance to serve the patients in their areas of specialisation, it said. Since COVID-19 was at its peak during 2020, the government decided to engage the super specialists in COVID-19 wards as contract medical officers for a meagre pay.
