Sir,
The increase in retirement age of Medical, Dental Colleges of the State is an urgent matter which needs to be addressed at the earliest. There is acute shortage of staff in hospitals and because of it many hospital in the State suffer.
The increase in age will certainly bridge the widening doctor-patient ratio gap.
As has been reported, there is the lurking threat of Medical and Dental College being derecognised by Dental Council of India and Medical Council of India (MCI). In case such a thing happened it will give a severe blow to the health delivery mechanism in the State.
Therefore the Cabinet should consider this demand as urgent and give it a nod.
Yours etc….
