The state medical education department plans to appoint the officers of the Indian Administrative Services and those of the state services as administrators to run daily business of 13 medical colleges, sources said.
The senior officials of the state government, however, warded off any comments on it saying they had no information about such a proposal. Medical education minister Vishwash Sarang allayed any doubts saying that there had been a proposal to appoint administrative officers for 13 medical colleges to boost health services.
Sarang further said, “Any decision to appoint administrators in hospitals and medical colleges will be only taken only after weighing all aspects of the proposal.”
There is a post of administrator in each associated hospital, said Sarang. The Medical Teachers’ Association is against the move. General secretary of the association Dr Rakesh Malviya said that rather than improving the condition of medical colleges such appointments would spoil the system.
“There is no need to do that, because there are already many IAS and SAS officers including divisional commissioners and additional chief secretaries to oversee the health services,” Dr Malviya said.
“There is only one hospital- AIIMS Delhi in the country where a deputy director, who is an IAS officer, looks after administrative work, but that IAS officer works under the director of the hospital,” Dr Malviya said.
Sources said the proposal came up on the heels of the Central Government’s decision to appoint engineers from private sectors to meet the need for technical experts in different departments. Besides the IAS and SAS cadres, the IPS officers are also keen on getting posted to various departments, sources further said.
