Sunday, October 23, 2011: The Kerala Government Medical College
Teachers’ Association (KGMCTA) today informed that they would hold talks
with the state government regarding the private practice of Govt
doctors. The discussion regarding this matter would be held after the
second session of Kerala Assembly.
In a statement here KGMCTA opined that the suggestion that vigilance
probe must be initiated against the erring doctors who indulge in
private practice was put forward during the previous LDF government.
The health department had earlier warned the government doctors
posted in the Medical Colleges against indulging in private practice and
said strict action would be taken against the erring doctors.
The directive regarding this has been issued by the Health department
secretary. A letter regarding this was sent to Government medical
colleges across state giving a warning to doctors about a possible
vigilance raid.
The circular issued contains 4 directives:-
1. The name board of doctors installed in their houses should be removed.
2. To whom the complaints must be registered and proper publicity must be given in the IP and OP sections of the hospitals.
3. When a complaint has been registered the Medical college vigilance wing must conduct a raid in the centre.
4. The hospital superintends must make sure that doctors do not
indulge in private practice either in their residences or else where.
