Doctor fraternity slammed Health Ministry for catapulting a junior doctor to the top chair has opened a Pandora's Box within the GMC&H Jammu for not following procedural norms to fill up the post. The Ministry has also shown thumb to the directions of High Court which clearly says that proper guidelines must be followed in the appointment of the Principal GMC. s
If Doctor fraternity to be believed, the last three to four Principal of GMC Jammu were appointed by killing the set criteria by the concerned Ministry as they didn't want to let Principal handle all affairs of the college and associated hospitals. Owing to which, the graph of the academic and hospital services was decreased thanks to the callous attitude of the Health Ministry.
"They (politicians) accused us on various public platforms for not giving treatment to the patients but they never showed interest to new facilities, advanced machinery, and many others despite repeated reminders compared to our neighbor Province, Kashmir where almost above said facilities because of dual yardstick of the same department," they alleged.
They added that the dual approach can be gauged from the fact that GMC Srinagar always having permanent and visionary Principal with cabinet approval but in Jammu, dummy (incharge) Principals, are being appointed by favoring juniors ignoring seniors ones.
"The incumbent Principal is lack of vision to improve things and failed to meet the deficiencies pulled up by Medical Council of India viz no medical journals were purchased, no scope of digitalization as following old traditions, less interest to interact with medical faculty, restricting faculty to access auditorium, Hostels san basic amenities, library sans books but Principal didn't show to redressal these issues instead of supporting a controversial doctor of surgery department, "they further added.
They said due to her poor interest to streamline and providing better services to the people, the Chopra Nursing Home was shut down for more than three months resulting patients are being fleeced by the private players who cares.
