Building Bridges - Forging Relationships

Dear Friends,
Greetings!!!
We have been following the struggles and efforts of our professional brothers and sisters in different states of India through the news in different media, the internet and also through personal contacts in different states. 
We at HCMS Association feel that many of the issues and problems facing the Doctors are common to all the states and that we may have a lot to learn from each other’s experiences and successes. We believe that enhanced interaction and co operation among the various state associations will be mutually beneficial in more ways than one. 
To end this, we have made efforts to trace and contact the various associations in India and have compiled the information we could gather. The same is being displayed as a link.
Our association has for the past more than 3 years been working on the idea to have an interaction among various state associations. We are trying to fix up a meeting at Chandigarh at some mutually convenient dates. The same shall be conveyed to you as soon as the things are a bit settled and your kind help and co operation is requested in this endeavor. We sincerely hope that you shall support us in this effort. 
Your comments and feedback will be eagerly awaited.
With all the best wishes!!! 
Warm regards, 
Dr Ashish Rana 
General Secretary,

President’s Message

Dated: 12-06-2013
In a spate of shockers to the HCMS Doctors Govt. has once again tried to put us at receiving end, in its latest notification. The finance department has made a hefty cut in salary of doctors by not considering NPA as part of pay for DA etc. It smacks of the partisan attitude and ulterior motives of establishment towards Doctors. It seems Govt. has relegated the vital issue of health to the background from its priority list. Its latest move also falsifies the tall and ostentatious claims reiterated by Govt. of improving the working conditions of doctors. The latest move would further disincentivise doctors and would create disparity with fellows of neighbouring states inter alia rendering the conditions further hostile to the doctors 
The Health Deptt. is already facing the scarcity of doctors, the latest move of govt is incomprehensible, irrational and insensitive. In the face these tyrannical diktats all members of HCMS Association are appealed to get united and fight it out.                                                                                        
Dr Kuldeep Singh
President HCMS Association
Dated: 15-06-2013                                         PRESS NOTE
Vide Notification dated 6.06.2013 issued by Finance Department; the NPA shall be treated for purposes of DA, entitlement for Loan & advances, TA/DA only(click for notification). And subsequently vide Notification dated 7.06.2013 issued by Finance Department, NPA will not be counted for pensionary benefits(click for notification) and vide Notification dated 10.06.2013 issued by Finance Department, the DA and other emoluments given on NPA has been withdrawn(click for notification). After issuing these notifications there was lot of resentment shown by Doctors then immediately Finance Department replaced its notification dated 6.06.2013 with another notification with same number and date in which “the NPA shall be treated for purposes of DA, entitlement for Loan & advances, TA/DA only” sentence has been withdrawn(click for notification). Officialdom is going by their own whims and fences, looks confused, as how to harass the Doctors. 
This unprecedented dictatorial order by FD is nowhere in the country. NPA has always been considered for DA and other emoluments. In 6th pay Commission also the NPA has been considered as a part of basic Pay for all purposes. Consequent to this order, the salary of a doctor will be reduced to 10 - 15 thousands per month. 
The state body of HCMS Association submitted the memorandum to Principal Secretary Health on dated 13.06.2013(click for memorandum). Principal Secretary Health agreed in principle that this notification is ill-fated and will have adverse effect on Health Department which is already facing shortage of Doctors. PSH assured that she will try to resolve this issue at the earliest. 
The HCMS Association has planned to meet Finance Minister Haryana and Chief Minister Haryana to apprise them of this unwarranted notification on 17.06.2013 and is hopeful that Govt will resolve the issue very soon by withdrawing the notification 
The state body of the HCMS Association has decided that Doctors will not accept deduction of a single penny from their salary and has conveyed to all the members NOT TO DRAW REDUCED SALARY. This message is loud and clear to the Govt. Regarding this HCMS association has called State level meeting on 19.06.2013 at Rohtak and will decide further course of action accordingly. 
Dr Kuldeep Singh
President HCMS Association

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR P.G. ASPIRANTS

Your kind attention is directed to following clauses of the PG policy issued on 23-12-2011:
Clause No III – The applicant Doctors should have completed 4 years of the service on the last date of application given in the prospectus.
Clause No VII (ii) – The upper age limit for PG Diploma/P.G. Degree/Super Specialization will be 45 years on 31st March of the admission year.
The last date of the application form varies from year to year depending on the examination schedule for each year.
The association had represented to the Government to fix 31st March of the admission year as the reckoning date for calculation of the length of the qualifying service, as is the case for calculation of age.
Accordingly, the Government has agreed to the proposal and a notification to this effect has been issued and can be accessed by the link given below.
We are hopeful that this notification will help the Doctors plan their careers in a better way.
Also, the Government has notified 31st March of each year as the last date for applying for NOC.
Since this notification has been released quite late, the association will urge the Government to grant extension in the last date for submission of application for grant NOC for this academic session so that the interested candidates may apply for grant of NOC.

After long-2 time the department at last displayed the Medico Legal Manual on the official site of Health Department. 
Earlier the manual was available on Internet but the source was not official. The issue had been taken up by HCMS association with the Director General Health Services. 
We are hopeful that this document may prove to be useful to the doctors during the course of their Medico Legal work.
