Dr Sudhakar calls upon doctors to work with dedication, commitment  


From Our Special Correspondent

Bengaluru, Jun 2: Work with dedication and commitment to make healthcare services in government hospitals world-class and strive hard to change people's perception of facilities in government hospitals, health and medical education minister Dr K Sudhakar appealed to newly recruited doctors on Wednesday.

The minister virtually addressed the newly recruited 1,763 doctors who were inducted into the service by the health and family welfare department on Wednesday.

Sudhakar said the recruitment of doctors amidst pandemic has been historic because of three reasons. Firstly, this is the biggest recruitment drive taken up by the government for the health department to recruit 1,763 doctors at a time. Secondly, this is the first time that the department of health and family welfare department has recruited doctors directly as KPSC was handling the recruitment process earlier. Thirdly, this is also one of the quickest hiring drives by the government.

"This large recruitment drive was completed in a record time of 6 months,’’ he said.

Five sutras to transform public healthcare

Appealing to the newly recruited doctors to work with commitment and honesty, Dr Sudhakar said, "Government hospitals are being looked down upon by many today. It is not without a reason. You will have to bring in fresh enthusiasm, energy, and attitude to government hospitals. The system can be changed, and government hospitals can become world-class. But it requires your commitment and determination."

The minister suggested five sutras to the newly onboarded doctors and said: "I want you to remember these ‘Pancha sutras.’’

Firstly, patient-centricity. There is a need to make government hospitals more patient-centric.

Secondly, punctuality. The common complaint that we hear today is that doctors are very casual about their duty hours in government hospitals. We need to change this mindset. We need to work like the private sector. We have a duty towards our citizens, who pay our salaries through taxes they pay.

Thirdly, quality of treatment. Government hospitals have the top quality medical infrastructure, yet all the well-to-do people go to private hospitals. There is a need to change that trend. We need to make our service standards match private sector hospitals. You would have succeeded the day middle and upper-class people prefer government hospitals over private hospitals.

Fourthly, the upkeep of the hospitals. Though most of the government hospitals have sprawling campuses in prime locations in the cities and towns, their upkeep is rather poor.

Fifthly, honesty and commitment. Many of the doctors from government hospitals allegedly work in private clinics and hospitals. The government spends a lot of money and resources on you, I urge you to dedicate yourself to your work.

Most of the patients who come to government hospitals seeking treatment belong to the lower strata of our society. The purpose of government hospitals is to ensure that these poor and marginalized people do not incur out-of-pocket expenditure to avail healthcare services. Doctors need to work as a bridge between government and people to fulfil this purpose, he added.

Encourage doctors to serve in rural areas

Dr Sudhakar also said doctors have an important role to play in removing vaccine hesitancy. Saluting the doctors who sacrificed their lives battling Covid and calling them martyrs, the minister requested the doctors to take care of their health even as they serve others.

Jawaid Akhtar, additional chief secretary, health department and KV Trilokchandra, commissioner of health and family Welfare and other senior officers were present in the virtual meeting.

    Look who is talking about dedication and honesty. We are proud of our frontline workers who have done marvellous work under very tough circumstances and a useless government. This so called Dr. Sudhakar has done nothing except the CD episodes in collaboration with 6 of his accomplices!

    Minister Sudhakar has got it so wrong - it is he, his colleagues and administrators who have to work with dedication and commitment. stop telling others what to do - do your job the way it is meant to be done - practise before you preach, Minister.

    We are proud much handled pandemic effectively as compare to other countries inspite of so huge population. Even countries like America with all medical facilities available at there door step are much confused and not able to tackle it in a right manner. For this we want to give credit to whole team who worked for it day n night with guidance from our strong Prime Minister from time to time. We are blessed to have him in our midst at this great difficult time. He organized all and made things smoother without knowledge of others.
