The state health department on Sunday issued an order for 1,242 fresh MBBS graduates from various government and GMERS Trustrun medical colleges to report to the respective district collectors or municipal commissioners on Monday for Covid duties.
The order by state health commissioner Jai Prakash Shivahare mentioned that if the doctors fail to report by Monday, an action can be initiated against them under provisions of Epidemics Act. The order is issued for 513 graduates of state-run medical colleges, 136 graduates on bond period from the state-run medical colleges and 593 graduates from GMERS medical colleges.
“The state, and country at large, is reeling under unprecedented medical emergency and there is dire requirement of manpower to run the newlyconstructed facilities. While physical infrastructure can be created within days, it is not enough without experienced medical professionals. Thus, it’s also an appeal to the students to give their best in these testing times,” said a senior health department official. “We have also brought in doctors under bond period for the Covid duty in 2020.”
Officials added that as the students would be getting double the bond period for their Covid duty, they can complete one year period within six months.
