Authorities have eliminated permanent employment opportunities for doctors at government teaching hospitals by deciding to hire Senior Registrars on contract instead of through permanent positions via the Public Service Commission.
Recruitment for Senior Registrars across medicine, surgery, and other departments will now operate on a three-year contract basis.
Doctors have lost interest in the government health sector due to the termination of permanent job opportunities, while bureaucrats have reportedly advanced toward phasing out permanent doctor positions in state hospitals.
