HC stays 6 CPS courses introduced by C’garh Govt

Tuesday, 25 September 2018 | Staff Reporter | Bilaspur

The Chhattisgarh High Court has stayed six of the Government Medical Diploma courses being run under College of Physicians and Surgeon (CPS) by the State government.

The courses were recently introduced by the Government in a bid to fill the vacancy of specialist doctors in the State.

During hearing on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), filed by Congress leader Dr Rakesh Gupta, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Ajay Kumar Tripathi on Monday stayed six out of the eight courses recently introduced by the Chhattisgarh government under CPS.

Gupta while talking to The Pioneer informed that through his counsellor Ms Madhunisha, he pleaded before the court that the courses were not approved as per the Act of Medical Council of India (MCI) and were having a heavy fee structure which was difficult to be borne by common students of the state.

Notably, keeping in view the dearth of doctors, the State government had amended Chhattisgarh Medical Act 1987 (No. 11-1990) section 26 and added 26 (A) after which a MoU was signed with College of Physicians and Surgeons, Mumbai in March, 2016. After completing all the formalities from all quarters and seeking permissions, the process of admission was started.

The Government was to provide backup support for all those passing this course for appointment in the Community Health Centre, Primary Health Centers and other health centers of the state.

The courses offered by the Government were in eight disciplines such as Diploma in Medicine, Orthopaedics, Anaesthesia, Otto-Rhino-lryngology (ENT), Ophthalmic Medicine and Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics (OBG), Pathology and Pediatric and the admission would have to be done through the NEET score.
