Nagpur: As promised to the Resident Doctor during their strike after the murder of a MBBS student at the government medical college campus in Yavatmal, GMC administration in Nagpur, Yavatmal and Akola along with the Directorate of Medical Education and Research has begun the process of increasing security settings.
Authorities in both medical colleges in Nagpur (GMCH and IGGMCH) have informed that they have submitted proposals regarding the increase in the number of security guards.
Citizens are now happy with progress.
“According to the audit conducted in 2017, more than 200 security guards must be at the 200 hectare GMC premise.
At present, we have 68 guards.
The revised proposal has been sent to Dmer,” said a senior administrative officer at GMCH.
“Pass systems have been introduced for relatives of patients.
Only one officer is allowed to live with one patient now.
This has diminished in a hurry and improves the security situation in GMCH,” said Dr.
Sajal Bansal, local unit president of the Doctor Resident Association (Mard) Maharashtra .
DMER Director Dr.
Dilip Maisekar told that all medical colleges in the state have been directed to submit similar proposals and some have been received.
“The number of security guards will be improved soon.
The independent process will be followed to increase the number of CCTV cameras,” he said.
Meanwhile, President of the GMCH Mard Unit Dr.
Sajal Bansal and Acticist Dr.
Jerryl Banith has submitted a petition at the Supreme Court demanding that the counseling process for MD / MS (postgraduate) in medical colleges must begin earlier and not.
delayed further.
The Apex court will hear the petition on Tuesday.
Dr.
Bansal told TI that the PG receipt was delayed as before.
“The test was postponed three times from January to May and then until August.
The All-India counseling will begin in September.
However, because of the petition relating to the reservation, the Supreme Court still processes the entry process without a time limit,” he said.
Every year, as soon as the third year exam from population doctors ends, a new batch of residents comes through the process of receiving Neet PG in May or July.
This year, the third year students have passed the exam but because of the prohibition in the process of Neet PG, no new doctor in the hospital.
GMC faces the acute crisis of a resident doctor who is considered the backbone of the public health system in this country.
“We have asked the court not to extend the stay on the counseling that has begun.
The counseling process should not be hampered because of the fictitious petition.
All of the splazing, must be done without a fixed delay and deadline,” said Dr.
Bansal.
