My Dear Umesh the Educator,
 
Supercilious comments do not contribute to Oxom's-India's-Humanity's meaningful progress !
 
 
Come up with a better solution.Go tell Himanta Bishwa  "Grow up ,become a Leader -not remain a Pusher"
 
One model for providing simultaneously:
  • Basic health Care / dietetics/prophylactics / Nursing/Hygiene/Midwifery/Sextraining
  • State funded Care(if that feels good) 
  • Huge rural employment (within this Congress -run Government)

-will be to start training /certifying/employing after 6 month internsive training  OF:

  1. 100,000  15year+ Boys and girls(not doing very well at school Cramming and mark-scoring)
  2. Decentralized in all districts-with assured Rural district based Pachayaat paid employment and disciplining.
  3. With prearranged demobilizing at 24 year age- armed with  authorization certificte to enter Tea,Agro,Petro,Forestry and other  industry as lifelong career.

This will be a viable alternative to  the shady Underground.

Let the MBBS 6year degree-holders fresh or retired help the big-money drug peddlers ,heal themselves and their city-hugging helpless friends Having Degrees but Alas!  no education.

"I visited the Guwahati Medical College (GMC) today and was really disappointed to find a majority of the doctors absent," Sarma said.  - Health Minister,  Assam
  
Is that all a powerful minister can do? How about some corrective measures?
  
 
     
  
           
  
  
GUWAHATI: If one is a doctor aged below 65 years, a government job in Assam is assured - just walk in to an interview next week and get the appointment letter on the spot.

But there is a catch. The new recruits must serve in Assam's rural areas.

"Anybody with a medical degree can just walk in for an interview on Wednesday and Thursday and get a job. We have about 234 vacancies across the state and all these recruits will be posted in rural health centres," Assam Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told reporters here.

Due to the lukewarm response from doctors for government jobs, health authorities will welcome retired medical practitioners for the interview.

"A retired doctor, if willing to serve in a rural area, will be paid a consolidated salary of Rs.15,000 a month, besides their pension benefits," the minister said.

"We hope to get at least 100 young doctors for the interview and the remaining vacancies can well be
filled up with retired medical practitioners."

The new recruitment drive has been necessitated with the rural healthcare sector in Assam in the doldrums with doctors not willing to serve in the interiors.

"We have to do something drastic to improve the healthcare system, especially in rural areas," Sarma said.

Doctors apart, there is a severe shortage of nurses and paramedics.

"We require about 1,200 nurses and in the next two months we are going to fill these vacancies," he said.

"Shortage of nurses in Assam has severely impeded immunisation programmes in the past few years."

Coming down heavily on specialist government doctors ignoring their normal duties and devoting more time in private nursing homes, the minister said such acts would not be tolerated.

"I visited the Guwahati Medical College (GMC) today and was really disappointed to find a majority of the doctors absent," Sarma said.

He has initiated
action against at least a dozen senior doctors at the GMC for neglecting duty.
