New rules for recruitment of bonded doctors in MP, CM Mohan Yadav made a big announcement

Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that the government’s intention is to bring radical changes in the health services in the state. The government is implementing multi-layered reforms to modernize health services and vastly expand medical education. He said that more and more citizens in the state should be provided the benefits of Ayushman Yojana. Those hospitals or doctors who do not provide treatment under Ayushman Scheme or are not empaneled in this scheme, they should also be linked to this scheme.

• The Chief Minister said that the departments should speed up the recruitment process for the supply of doctors. Efforts should be made to avail the services of private doctors for running primary health centers and community health centers in the field. For this, apart from calling them on call, they should also be given a good honorarium (incentive). He said that the students pursuing medical education, whose fees are being paid by the government, the doctors with such bonds should be stopped from providing services in Madhya Pradesh only. Such doctors should also be given attractive honorarium for providing services in the tribal and remote areas of the state.
• The Chief Minister said that new medical colleges are being established rapidly in the state, hence more number of doctors will be required. Bonded doctors should be promoted and their honorarium should be revised and their services should be taken in all new medical colleges and field hospitals.

Laying special emphasis on the role of field staff, the Chief Minister said that the quality of health services can be improved only through sensitivity, promptness and accountability at the field level. He said that coordination and planned implementation of departmental services is the real means of achieving the government’s goals.
