Andhra Pradesh: Govt. doctors in Chittoor vexed with tokenism of Doctors’ Day

The Hindu  

Government doctors serving in Chittoor district are not particularly enthused over the forthcoming National Doctors’ Day, which is celebrated on July 1 across the country. Many doctors working at primary health centres, urban health centres, referral centres and district headquarters hospitals rued that while National Doctors’ Day would be celebrated in a grand manner by their colleagues working at private hospitals., it would be a dull affair for those in the government sector as ‘there is none to care for us’. We played a crucial role in raising donations for essential equipment at PHCs such as thermal guns, ventilators, N-95 masks, and COVID medicine kits with the help of philanthropists and NRIs,” said Dr. P. Ravi Raju, secretary of the Chittoor unit of the Andhra Pradesh Government Doctors’ Association. Dr. M. Sireesha, a medical officer serving at a PHC in Bangarupalem mandal, said that several doctors with PG qualifications working in the government health sector were taken on an outsourcing basis.
