West Bengal passed the controversial Rural Health Regulatory Authority Bill 2009

by 1 Comment

The West Bengal government on Dec 2009 passed the controversial Rural Health Regulatory Authority Bill 2009 in the state assembly by majority vote.
In doing so, the state government created a precedence in the sense that it over-ruled thereby the collective decision that was taken by the Left Front to send the bill to the assembly select committee in view of the differences that existed over various tenets of the bill among the Opposition.
The government’s move resulted in an immediate walkout by the Trinamool Congress and Congress. The Bill introduces a 3-year diploma course on medical science and the apparent objective is to deploy these diploma holders in various parts of rural Bengal to meet the acute shortage there in terms of qualified medical practitioners.

  1. NATIONALIZE ALL THE PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES & UPGRADE ALL EXISTING BAMS/BHMS/BUMS COLLEGES TO MBBS & PROVIDE UNIFORM MEDICAL DEGREE IN INDIA
    We hereby request to

    Hon,President of India,

    Hon,Prime minister of India,

    Hon, Health Minister of India

    & All the Hon, MP’s from Rajyasabha & Loksabha

    to seriously think on “Nationalization of Medical Education”…

    1)Medical Education should be on the top of priority list of Govt of India..

    Privatization of medical education started in 1953,

    & now every big politician owns a Medical college & sugar factory.

    those who cant own medical college, own BAMS or BHMS colleges..

    management quota seats are literally sold.

    Medical Education is now market, where those who have lot of money can get admissions

    Truly worthy students are deprived from getting medical education, in this Bazar.

    Those who invest money for education naturally tries to put out the invested money with interest, they are going to accept freebies & gifts from the Pharma companies, no matter MCI’s Ketan Desai bans it.

    True Medical professional needs Empathy, Emotions & Ethics in his heart.

    Privatization of Medical Education kept all these words into dictionary

    2)Upgrade all the existing BAMS/BHMS/BUMS/BSMS colleges to MBBS & provide them with necessary infrastructure.

    Existing BAMS/BHMS/BUMS/BSMS practitioners should be upgraded to MBBS by offering them refreshing course in medicine & pharmacology through CME centers at Taluka/Tehsil level.The CME centers at Taluka/Tehsil level should be provided with recent advances in technology like video conferencing.

    3) Government’s job is to provide/ensure proper health care to it’s citizens & not to promote the different pathies, hence AYUSH dept. & CCIM & CCH should be scrapped.

    & Uniform scientific medical syllabus should be offered in the Nation,Ayurveda,unani & siddha would be offered as optional subjects.as they have the Indian origin & should be considered as potential resource for research in main stream medicine.
    Thanx with Regards
