Civil Hospital Fatehabad does not have physicians, ortho surgeons and even general surgeons. Due to this, patients have to go to either private hospitals or Agroha Medical. The posts of Ortho Surgeon and General Surgeon are vacant for about three years.
The health department conducts recruitment under NHM to fill the posts of specialists. Under NHM, the department is offering a salary package of up to Rs 1.5 lakh per month to a specialist, while the starting salary of a permanent doctor starts from Rs 70 to 80 thousand per month.
Apart from this, there is legal responsibility and workload is also high, whereas in private sector the salary package is also good. The burden of paper work also remains less. The government should increase the salary package of doctors and reduce the work load. -Dr. Bharat Saharan, District Head, Haryana Civil Medical Association.
