News » Goverment to hire docs for districts from private sector: Gagan Thapa

After doctors did not show any interest in working on contract at government hospitals outside Kathmandu Valley, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has come up with a plan to hire specialists for at least six months for working in the remote districts. According to MoH, the ministry announced vacancies for 79 posts of medical officers, 158 posts of consultant doctors, 25 of medical generalists (MDGP) and 22 posts of anesthetists on contract basis about three months ago. No one applied for general practitioner and only three applied for anesthetists. A total of 120 candidates applied for the 158 posts of consultant doctors. Among these, only 88 passed the interview but 55 later did not accept the contract letters as they were assigned outside Kathmandu Valley, according to officials at MoH. “We have now given them a choice among places outside the Valley,” said the officials. More than 300 candidates applied for the 79 posts of medical officers and the interview results are in the final stage, said officials at the personnel administration at MoH. Meanwhile, the Public Service Commission recently published the final results for 202 posts of medical officers and five dental officers to be assigned to different hospitals. However, the Supreme Court issued a stay order against appointing the doctors as they lacked the necessary documents. The candidates filled up their forms under the reservations quota but failed to submit the required documents, according to MoH.
