Q: There are a couple of very senior diploma holders in our hospital who are even better than MDs. My questions are:
a—Can they be appointed as head of the department? Is there a law that a diploma holder cannot head a unit or department?
b—Is it mandatory that the person working under them must be an MD?
A:
1—If it is a government hospital, it would have clear cut recruitment and promotion rules etc. It is obvious that you are talking about a private hospital.
2—Whom to employ with what designation is the sole discretion of the hospital as long as no laws are violated. There is no law that a private hospital cannot appoint a specialist having a diploma as the head of department. There is no law that the doctors working under a diploma holder should be postgraduate degree holders.
