State Government doctors want pay anomalies rectified
Facilities provided by the Centre should be incorporated, they say
The Joint Action Committee of all government doctors’ associations of
Tamil Nadu (JAC-GDA) submitted a memorandum to the government for
correcting the anomalies and requesting for pay and promotions on par
with Union Government doctors. The committee submitted a detailed
memorandum to the health secretary on Monday. The committee has representation from Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association, Tamil Nadu Medical Officers’ Association, Government Doctors’ Association, and Civil Surgeons’ Association.
The memorandum said that various schemes of Union and State Governments such as maternal and child healthcare, tuberculosis and leprosy control programmes, immunisation programmes, communicable and non-communicable disease control and epidemic control are done because of hard work and commitment of government doctors of Tamil Nadu. Moreover, the maternal and infant mortality rates have come down drastically because of their efforts. Also, college teachers and doctors in other States get the salary equal or above the salary paid to Central government doctors. Sources with JAC-GDA said that the committee discussed the issues with the health secretary, who has assured to look into them. JAC-GDA has decided to create an awareness among its members in Madurai, Cuddalore, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, and Dharmapuri in the coming days.
