Early Times Report
Anantnag, Aug 30: Some doctors at Government Medical College Anantnag are allegedly refusing to perform COVID-19 duty at a time when doctors are being hailed worldwide as corona warriors.
Dr Ghulam Jeelani Romshoo, who heads the Medicine Department at GMC Anantnag, told Early Times that most of the senior doctors refused to perform COVID-19 duty as per the roaster drafted two weeks ago.
“On 17th of August we prepared detailed roaster for one month and as per ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) guidelines doctors belonging to other departments were included in the duty roaster but they (senior doctors) didn’t attend the duties,” Dr Ghulam Jeelani Romshoo, HOD Medicine Department told this newspaper over phone.
He said that after the senior resident doctors refused to attend duties he took up the matter with Principal Medical College Anantnag and sought his intervention.
“I conveyed this matter to the Principal verbally and a letter was written to him as well,” he said, adding the Principal Medical College Anantnag has assured action against those doctors who didn’t attend COVID-19 duty.
“They (senior resident doctors) don’t have to run the show, they only have to help us only,” he added.
In Medicine department, he said, 14 senior doctors are attending the COVID-19 infected patients since the beginning of this pandemic.
Romshoo said that junior resident doctors belonging to other departments were performing COVID-19 duties punctually.
GMC Principal , Dr Showkat Jeelani admitted that few doctors are not performing COVID-19 duty.
“Few doctors might not have attended the duties for the reasons best known to them but I have served explanations to them but patients have been looked after nicely,” he said.
The ‘Office Politics’ according to reliable sources has hit the functioning of Government Medical College Anantnag.
Recently, the authorities at GMC Anantnag announced that they have stopped conducting routine surgeries. |
