JAMMU, Dec 25: Appreciating the steps taken by the
Chief Minister by removing under-performance officials to rescue the sinking
ships, the doctor fraternity had demanded removal of dummy Principal of
Government Medical College Jammu and appointment of permanent Principal, for
the betterment of the college.
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.
