சென்னை : புதிய மருத்துவக் கல்வி இயக்குனராக வம்சதாரா நியமிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார். சென்னை கீழ்ப்பாக்கத்தில் உள்ள, மருத்துவக் கல்வி இயக்குனர்(பொறுப்பு) பதவியில், கீழ்ப்பாக்கம் மருத்துவக் கல்லூரி டீன் கனகசபை இருந்தார். அவர் மாற்றப்பட்டு, அவருக்கு பதில் சென்னை ஸ்டான்லி மருத்துவக் கல்லூரி டீன் பதவியில் இருந்த வம்சதாரா புதிய மருத்துவக் கல்வி இயக்குனராக நியமிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார். இவர் திங்களன்று புதிய பதவியில் பொறுப்பேற்பார் என்று தெரிகிறது. கனகசபை இனி கீழ்ப்பாக்கம் மருத்துவக் கல்லூரி டீன் பொறுப்பை மட்டும் கவனிப்பார்.

The Implications of Speciality Seniority - Read Carefully

Serious promotion anomalies in new G.O-- panel senioroty in specialty would prevail over CML seniority. Rural service is ignored

கிராமப்புறத்தில் பணிபுரியும் மருத்துவர்களை பாதிக்கும் விதியை உடனடியாக ரத்து செய்ய வேண்டும்

இதுவரை அமலில் இருந்த விதிமுறை : ஒரு மருத்துவர் முதலில் அரசு பணியில் சேரும் போது கிராமப்புற ஆரம்ப சுகாதார நிலையத்தில் சேர்ந்தாலும், அல்லது அரசு மருத்துவமனையில் மருத்துவக்கல்லூரியில் சேர்ந்தாலும், ஒரே பணி மூப்பு - CML (Civil Medical List) based on TNPSC Seniorty - என்ற விதி இது வரை நடைமுறையில் உள்ளது.

அதாவது அவர்கள் கிராமப்புற மருத்துவமனைகளில் பணிபுரியும் காலகட்டம் அவர்களது பதவி உயர்விற்கு (TNPSC Seniorty) எடுத்துக்கொள்ளப்பட்டது

தற்சமயம் அரசாணை 354 நாள் 23.10.2009ன் படி இந்த விதி மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளது (பார்க்க படங்கள் 25 - 26 Illustration 4)
எனவே மருத்துவர்கள் ஆரம்ப சுகாதார நிலையங்களில் பணிபுரியும் காலகட்டமும், அவர்கள் பணியில் சேரும் போது உள்ள CML சீனியாரிட்டிக்கும் மதிப்பிலை என்று ஆகிறது now the time spend by a medical officer in PHC is totally wasted

அவர்கள் மருத்துவக்கல்லூரியில் உதவிப்பேராசிரியராக பணியில் சேரும் நாள் மட்டுமே அவர் பேராசிரியராவதற்கு தகுதி என்றாகிறது

கிராமங்களில் 3 முதல் 4 வருடம் பணிபுரிந்து அதன் பிறகு பட்ட மேற்படிப்பு படிக்கும் மருத்துவரை விட கிராமப்புறங்களில் ஒரு நாள் கூட பணிபுரியாதவர் சீனியாரகும் அவல நிலையை இந்த ஆணை உருவாக்குகிறது

இந்த விதி உடனடியாக ரத்து செய்யப்பட வேண்டும்.

உதாரணமாக 2006 வரை கிராமப்புறங்களில் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் (ஒப்பந்த அடிப்படையில் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் உட்பட) இது வரை யாரும் படித்து முடிக்க வில்லை. இவர்கள் அனைவரும் படித்து முடித்து மருத்துவக்கல்லூரிகளில் சேர்வது 2013க்கு பிறகு தான்ஆனால் 2007 முதல் 2013 வரை படிக்கும் non service pg மருத்துவர்கள் இவர்களை விட சீனியாரும் வகையில் இந்த ஆணையில் விதி உள்ளது. இது கிராமப்புறங்களில் பணிபுரியும் மருத்துவர்களை பாதிக்கிறது.

இந்த புதிய விதியினால் இனி வரும் காலங்களில் கிராமப்புறங்களில் பணிபுரிய மருத்துவர்கள் விரும்பாமல் நேரடியாக மருத்துவக்கல்லூரியில் சேரவே விரும்புவார்கள்.

பல வருடங்களுக்கு முன்னர் இருந்தது போன்ற நிலை ஏற்பட வாய்ப்பு உள்ளது

எனவே இந்த புதிய விதியை உடனடியாக ரத்து செய்து, தகுதி இருப்பின், அனைத்து பதவி உயர்வுகளும், CML மூப்பு அடிப்படையிலேயே வழங்கப்பட்ட வேண்டும் என்றும் அனைத்து seniority panelகளும் CML சீனியாரிட்டியின் அடிப்படையிலேயே இருக்க வேண்டும் என்றும் மாற்றப்பட வேண்டும்
