Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 22: A small hospital in north Kashmir's Pattan town has witnessed hectic activity during the past eight months as the officials have"illegally" transferred at least seven women doctors within short span of time, which is against the norms formulated by the department.
As per the service rule, no one is supposed to get transferred before two years of his/her service in any department.
These doctors have been illegally transferred to the different hospitals of Srinagar without spending two years of their service in the Sub-district hospital Pattan.
Sources said that B Grade Gynecologist post is lying vacant in the hospital from the past two years. "The post was filled by the higher officials but after two months, the doctor who was appointed on the post was illegally transferred to SDH Charar-i-Shareef," sources said.
They further said that all the lady doctors "have political backing" due to which illegal transfers took place.
The Patients alleged that the hospital is not having a satisfactory strength of the doctors. "Whenever we visit the hospital for the treatment, w e don't get it due to the lack of doctors here. The authorities are forcing us to spend hefty money in private clinics," patients said.
They appealed to the authorities concerned to look into the matter and redress their genuine grievances at the earliest.
While talking to a local news agency the, BMO Pattan Dr Aadil Kangoo said that "he is doing what he is being asked to do."
He, however, said that he is not having any information regarding the women doctors who have been earlier transferred from the hospital.
Minister for State for Health and Family Welfare, Asiea Naqash said that she would look into the matter and would call Director Health in this regard. "I have no information about it but I will look into the matter and will come up with the facts at earliest," Naqash told.
