What has changed
Permanent jobs for doctors at government teaching hospitals have been eliminated, and authorities have decided to hire Senior Registrars on contract instead. Senior Registrars in medicine, surgery and other departments will now be recruited on a three-year contract rather than as permanent staff.
The posts are to be filled through the Public Service Commission, the body that handles recruitment for government jobs. The change applies to teaching hospitals run by the government.
Doctors' reaction and wider shift
Reports say the end of permanent posts has caused doctors to lose interest in the government health sector. Reports also say the bureaucracy has moved toward phasing out permanent jobs for doctors in government hospitals more generally.
These wider plans have not been confirmed in an official statement, so their scope remains unclear for now.
Aasan alfaaz mein
Sarkari teaching hospitals mein doctors ki permanent naukri ab khatam kar di gayi hai. Senior Registrars ko ab teen saal ke contract par rakha jaye ga. Reports ke mutabiq is faisle se doctors ki sarkari sehat ke shobay mein dilchaspi kam ho rahi hai. Is ka matlab hai ke public hospitals mein naukri ki stability kam ho sakti hai.
