Jammu, July 25: Four departments in Government Medical College and Hospital (GMC&H) Jammu are running without postgraduate courses since their establishment, forcing the aspirants to opt for other courses or move outside the state.
 Due to non-availability of the PG courses in the departments of Psychiatry, Forensic Medicine, CD & TB, and Biochemistry, the interns who lack experience are forced to remain available during the night.
Sources in the hospital said successive principals of the GMC have failed to initiate PG courses in the college for last many years, even as the college has enough infrastructure and faculty. Even the Medical Council of India (MCI) has also pulled out GMC's administration," said sources. "Due to vested interest of some doctors as well as management of the Psychiatric Diseases Hospital, hurdles are created in launching PG courses in the GMC," said sources.
Similarly, the Forensic Medicine and Chest Disease and Tuberculosis (CD & TB) have been struggling with same problems. As far as the Forensic Department is concerned, there is no specialist doctor available. In the CD&TB too, the doctors as well as administration showed less interest to start the PG course.
"If anyone who has done PG outside the state wants to join the GMC&H and its associated hospitals, he or she faces huge difficulties as some doctors don't want new faces to join," said sources. Officials claimed that the file of launching PG course in the Biochemistry has been moved and the required infrastructure has been completed. They claimed that the PG course will be introduced within one and half year, and medical students would no more have to run from pillar to post.

Principal of GMC Jammu Dr. Sunanda Raina was not available for comments.
