Why Govt. Health System is destined to suffer in Odisha

Why  Govt. Health System is destined to suffer in Odisha

Status of all categories of Doctors as on 1.3.2018

Dear friends

Recently, the State Govt. has declared plethora of health schemes starting from providing free medicine to patients and free dialysis for kidney patients to SAMPURNA Yojana for total control of MMR and IMR in the state. These schemes are propagated and highlighted to show the Govt.’s commitment to ensure effective health delivery system to the people in the state. Moot question is despite much-hyped scheme and budgetary allocation for health service, why the people are deprived of getting proper treatment in the hospitals.  Why health system is still disaster in Odisha.     The disastrous situation in Hospitals is due to absence of doctors and para-medical staff  in the hospitals.  Though infrastructure is available, technical staff is not available to handle it. Though free medicine is available, no doctor is there to prescribe medicine and treat the patients.

RTI Application was filed to the PIO, Dept. of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Odisha seeking information about details of doctor, medical staff, and situation of infrastructure in Govt. hospitals in Odisha. On 7.4.18, the PIO has supplied the information about status of all categories of doctors in Govt. Hospitals in different districts as on 1.3.2018. 

·  50% of  post of Doctors are vacant  in Odisha.

·  303 doctors are absconding. They got relieved but not joined without any information to Govt. Many doctors have left job without information to Govt. Astonishingly, the State Govt. has not dismissed them.
