PRESS RELEASE
CORRUPTION AND IRREGULARITIES IN DIP. NB. MEDICAL PG ADMISSIONS
CENTRAL HEALTH MINISTRY SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY STEP
Regarding this Dr. G.R.Ravindranath, General Secretary, DASE, has issued the following press statement.
Like M.D., and M.S., seats a lot of Dip. NB.(Diplomate in National Board of Examinations) PG seats are available in more than 550 hospitals across the country. More than 3,500 seats are there. The seats are under the control of Central Health Ministry. There is no proper transparent admission process for these valuable seats. Huge amounts are received as capitation fees by the Corporate and Other private hospitals for these courses.
Corrpuption is taking place while giving recognition for these hospitals to have the courses. There is no common entrance examination, no single window system, no counseling and no transparency at all. After passing the preliminary examination a qualifying examination (not a competitive examination) candidates are selected by interview by the hospitals. Partiality is shown in various ways like, nativity, relativity, caste, religion, gender, friendship and etc.
There is no reservation for SC/ST candidates, which is constitutionally mandatory in these seats which are controlled by Central Health Minister Dr. ANBUMANI RAMADOSS, whose party P.M.K. is in the forefront for social justice. It is a gross violation of constitution and it is against social justice. There is no quota for the doctors working in public sector and government hospitals.
DASE urges the Central Health Ministry to take appropriate steps to streamline the admission process and to provide reservation for SCs / STs and OBCs.
Yours,
(Dr.G.R. Ravindranath )
