Medical group calls for government action to improve the prospects of doctors placed on contract. FMTNews Health
About 6,000 doctors come out every year but there are not enough jobs for them, according to an NGO.
Dr Vikkineshwaran Siva Subramaniam, chairman of the MMI international board of trustees, said the Education Ministry had allowed medical institutions to mushroom. “Either the government should make all medical officers on contract or permanent staff. Medical officers do the same job, but those on contract earn less and are unable to become specialists doctors,” he said.
“After housemanship, they are placed on the UD44 grade but those under contract have remained at UD41,” he said. He questioned why the doctors in the two grades could not be paid the same salary. “But we do not know the criteria of why some are given contract positions while others are employed on permanent basis,” he said.
