Doctors, professors barred from private practice during work hours: Min Sharan Prakash Patil
Bengaluru: Karnataka Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil on Monday has warned that the government will take strict legal action on doctors or professors of teaching hospitals who were found carrying out private practice during their working hours.
Dr. Patil, in response to a question by Congress member Balkis Banu, said that the government had implemented a salary system based on biometric attendance, as it had received complaints of teaching hospital doctors and professors carrying out their private practice skipping work at the hospitals. The doctors and professors are required to attend to their duties at the hospital between 9 am and 4 pm, and have to mark their attendance through the biometric system four times a day, at 9 am, 2 pm, 3 pm and 4 pm, the minister has clarified before the House.
The minister said that the state government would soon start Bone Marrow Aspirate and Trephine Biopsy (BMAT) institutes at Mysuru and Hubballi to examine cancer cases in children. He added that officers Indira Gandhi Children Hospitals have been directed to establish BMAT.
The data presented before the House stated that over 1,500 children below 14 years are diagnosed with cancer.
