Kochi: The central
government will allow overseas Indian doctors to practice in the
country without undergoing screening tests, an official said here
Wednesday.
Union Health Secretary P.K. Pradhan announced the move at the
ongoing Global Healthcare Summit here.
"The centre is ready with the bill to amend the Medical Council of
India (MCI) Act and allow the overseas Indians to practice in
their homeland as demanded by the expatriate professionals for
long. This is expected during the budget session of parliament,"
said Pradhan.
The high-profile forum was attended by the top brass from the
industry and government officials.
The central government was planning to improve the secondary care
by upgrading district hospitals.
"There is a huge scope for partnership with the private sector in
the areas like diagnostic services and labs," he said.
Director General of Health Services Jagadish Prasad urged the
private hospitals to reserve 10 percent of services free of cost
for the poor under the corporate social responsibility.
The government wanted to cooperate with the private sector in the
areas like tele-medicine, besides preventive measures such as
screening, community medicine, upgrading secondary and tertiary
care, he said.
