Pay hike for doctors serving in rural areas

Posted by binu P Sunday, June 28, 2009 0 comments

The government has come up with an attractive incentive scheme to woo doctors to serving in rural areas.

The remotest mountainous terrain or parts of the Naxalite-infested Red Corridor are places where doctors fear to tread.

Faced with a massive health care delivery system shortcoming in the Indian countryside, the Health Ministry is planning incentives for doctors.

To take doctors out their cities home and practice, the Health Ministry is offering an attractive salary hike for a rural posting which will be between 25 and 50 per cent.

While 25 per cent hike will be given to those posted in difficult areas, 50 per cent hike is for those areas that are almost unreachable by road.

The most difficult areas have been identified as Naxal-affected districts of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, remote areas in the North-East, interiors of Jammu and Kashmir, the Thar Desert stretch of Rajasthan, Lakshwadeep and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
