ORDER:
In the G.O’s read above, orders have been issued relaxing ban on transfer
of employees till 10.10.2014.
In para 2 (vi) of the said
G.O., it is mentioned that
separate guidelines will be issued by the Health, Medical & Family Welfare Department in the
case of transfer of Specialist doctors.
2 . The services of specialist doctors are considered highly desirable in each
Government hospital to serve the patients. As such, in
the matter of transfer of specialist doctors, utmost care has to be taken to ensure that the
health services in any hospital should not suffer due to lack of specialist doctors. The needs
of each hospital
has to be taken into consideration while effecting the transfers of specialist doctors. Some of the
Government medical colleges under
the control of DME are suffering from severe
shortage of faculty in some specialties in some medical colleges. This shortage is adversely impacting to get permissions for admission for both MBBS and
PG seats from Medical Council of India.
3.
As far as the APVVP hospitals are concerned particularly in tribal and rural
areas there is acute shortage of specialist doctors which hampers the delivery
of specialty services to the poor patients in remote areas. So there is urgent need to
‘Rationalize’ the services where some doctors
are working against mismatch posts without sufficient work. Mismatch arrangement is only fulfilling individual need
but
gravely denying essential services to many.
4.
Keeping this sensivity in view,
Government
in
super
session of the
earlier
transfer orders hereby issue the guidelines
for transfers of Specialist
doctors and
other staff in Medical and Health
Department, as appended to this order as annexure.
5 . The
Heads of Departments concerned shall
take necessary action
accordingly. (BY ORDER AND IN THE NAME OF THE GOVERNOR OF ANDHRA PRADESH)
