Rules were not made for six posts, bypass surgery stuck
ACI is about to be open for 6 years. Due to non-formulation of recruitment rules for 6 posts including 3 posts of Perfusionist and the same number of Physician Assistants, recruitment is stuck. Not only this, due to non-recruitment of these two staff, heart bypass surgery is not being done. Patients are being referred to AIIMS for this, while two regular cardio thoracic and vascular surgeons are providing services in the hospital.
Rules for new posts
Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgery department has been opened for the first time in any government medical college of the state. The department has made the rules a year ago and sent them to the government, but the rules have not been made yet. Due to this the recruitment has got stuck. The role of perfusionist and physician assistant is very important.
Without this, heart bypass surgery is not possible. Experts say that in private hospitals, perfusionists and physician assistants are being paid a salary of Rs 65 to 70 thousand every month. In such a situation, no one is ready to provide services at low salary as per the honorarium as per the case. With the formulation of recruitment rules, contractual and regular recruitment can be done.
