| Stick to AIIMS: Azad to doctors | | | Agencies
New Delhi, Sep 25 : Concerned over a number of senior doctors leaving All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) recently, Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today urged the doctors and faculty of the super-speciality hospital not to leave the institution for the private sector.
''As a Health Minister, both private and public sector are same for me but as the President of AIIMS I will ask the doctors not to leave,'' Mr Azad said after visiting the Health Exhibition to mark the 54th Institute Day of AIIMS here.
Referring to the professions of medicine and politics, the Minister said one can choose between money and service. Some people choose big money and less satisfaction and some choose less money and more satisfaction.
''I think in these professions one should go for more satisfaction,'' he said.
The Health Minister, recalled the vision of late former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and former Health Minister Rajkumari Amrit Kaur for establishing a centre of excellence ie AIIMS. He said the institute was envisaged as the top referral institute for the country, but over the years it has come to be burdened with normal cases at the cost of type of cases it should deal with.
To correct all this, the UPA government has launched the revamping of the rural health system in the country and NRHM aims to strengthen medical facility at the district and local levels up to the sub-centres in the remote village areas by 2012.
This, along with establishment of eight AIIMS-like institutes and upgradation of 19 medical colleges all over the country, will relieve AIIMS of much of its routine cases and will enable it to become a ''perfect referral hospital not only for the country but for the entire world'', he said.
