Medical Doctors Association Urges Himachal Pradesh Government to Revise Service Bond…
What happened
The Resident Doctors Association of Indira Gandhi Medical College urged the Himachal Pradesh government to revise its compulsory three-year service bond policy. The association requested a reduction in the Rs 40 lakh financial penalty and an increase in postgraduate medical stipends. The RDA also raised concerns regarding the non-payment of stipends to resident doctors operating under the state's “No Stipend, No Bond” policy, affecting hundreds of doctors.

Why it matters
The association warned that the combination of a lengthy mandatory service bond, high financial liability, and inadequate remuneration could discourage high-ranking candidates from choosing medical colleges in Himachal Pradesh. This situation could adversely affect the state's postgraduate medical education system, potentially leading to vacant seats or seats being filled by lower-ranked candidates.
Indira Gandhi Medical College is a healthcare facility located in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
