New Delhi : All postgraduates from All India Institutes of Medical
Sciences (AIIMS) will now be absorbed within the institutes across the
country as part of the government's move to fill up huge vacancies of
doctors and faculty positions.
In order to streamline the recruitment process, it has been decided
that all appointments will be made directly by the selection committee
and ratified by AIIMS governing body and Institute Body later.
" We have formulated protocol to induct all AIIMS graduates during
placement. This will ensure that we do not lose doctors to private
hospitals because of any delay in recruitment process. For the same
reason, we have also delegated powers of the IB and GB to the
selection committee, which can now select and appoint doctors
directly, the IB and GB will ratify these appointments later," health
minister J P Nadda told TOI.
The move comes in the wake of the new institutes facing an acute
shortage of doctors. Apart from New Delhi's AIIMS, there are six other
AIIMS in Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh --
which are currently functional. Moreover, the Centre has announced
setting up of 13 more AIIMS including two in Jammu and Kashmir and one
each in Gorakhpur, Assam, Bathinda in Punjab, Guntur, Nagpur and
Kalyani in West Bengal.
Shortage of doctors and faculty members has been a major challenge
in making the new AIIMS fully functional.
