Kolkata: The Indian
government plans to bring a regulation to ensure doctors have a
compulsory stint in the country especially in the rural sector,
Minister of State for Health Sudip Bandopadhyay Monday said.
"The government is spending crores of rupees for making doctors
and specialists, but after passing out most of them go abroad. We
are planning to bring in a regulation/declaration which will make
sure that the doctors serve in their state/country for a specific
period," said Bandopadhyay.
He said the government was planning to increase the number of
medical seats in order to produce more doctors.
"We will increase the number of seats in order to generate more
doctors so that there are enough doctors to serve in the rural
belt. West Bengal is also planning to increase the number of MBBS
and post graduate seats every year," he said.
West Bengal Minister of State for Health Chandrima Bhattacharjee
said the private health care institutions should assist the state
government in order to revamp the rural health care sector.
