Due to the ban on the promotion of doctors, the posts of 2181 specialist doctors in the state are vacant. The government has taken a middle path to fill these vacant seats. Under the new formula, eligible doctors will be given the status of Incharge Specialist. These doctors will be able to fill 650 Medical Officers' new posts by becoming the Interchange Specialist. The CM Secretariat has approved this.
Significantly, there are around 700 doctors in the state who have graduated post after having MBBS. They can get promotions, but despite the qualifications, they are doing the same medicine as a medical officer. In fact, the Supreme Court has stayed the reservation on their promotion. Because of this, the government can not give them promotion. Now the government is going to make the medical officers, who are eligible for promotion, to be an Incharge Doctor. These doctors will treat as specialist patients. With this, the post of medical officer will be vacant. The government has the right to hire a medical officer. Government will be able to give job to medical officers after examination and interview through Public Service Commission (PSC) and National Health Mission (NHM). In this way, the shortage of 650 doctors will be completed.
