The administration of the Government Doon Medical College (GDMC) has decided to appoint private anaesthetics in the female wing of its associated hospital. These anaesthetists would be dealing the maternity cases and would be provided a remuneration of Rs 1500 per case by the medical college.
This however would be a temporary measure to meet the exigency arising out of the transfer of three anaesthetists from the hospital which severely affected operations in the hospital. The Principal of the GDMC, Dr Pradip Bharati Gupta said that National Health Mission (NHM) has agreed to provide four anaesthetists to the hospital. He added that two new faculty members joined the college on Tuesday. They are Dr Bhola Nath as Professor and Dr Dheeraj and associate Professor. They would be sent to department of Medicine and paediatrics respectively to strengthen services.
The principal said that all doctors have been asked to compulsorily wear aprons bearing their name plates.
