Salary hike move doesn't excite docs
Govt doctors in Bihar are neither happy with their current salaries nor are they upbeat about the possible hike.
A recent comment by state health minister Chandra Mohan Rai about increasing payscales, but not matching the central payscales has left the medicos disappointed.
Doctors said they would settle at nothing below the Central payscale.
When most states are paying their doctors as per the central payscales, we should get the same." Dr Ajay Kumar said, "The health services in Bihar cannot improve till the service doctors get their actual and legal due. We have been demanding for central payscales and service conditions for a long time now."
Kumar said, "The state government accepted our demands in principle in 1989 and Bihar doctors were provided central pay. The government again reiterated its policy to implement the central pay to doctors in 1998 and also revise it with every revision as per the central government."
He said if the government pays anything below the central scale it would be breaching its contract. "We will not accept anything less," he said.
A representation from the Indian Medical Association said the state government had been specially insensitive towards the needs of government doctors. It said, "When a bachelor of pharmacy graduate gets a basic pay of Rs 8,000, why should an MBBS and MD doctor get only Rs 6,500 as basic salary."
A doctor said, "There is an enormous amount of disillusionment among government doctors. They get poor salaries and poor service conditions. Promotions do not come by decade after decade. But the government is always ready to suspend them for every reason."
