Doctors are often blamed that they do not go to rural areas

Doctors are often blamed that they do not go to rural areas


I have the following points to make:
  • Open medical college/s, only in rural areas so that a budding doctor does his internship and three years PG in the same area.
  • Many young doctors go to Saudi Arabia to earn a tax-free income so that they can start their own clinic or medical setup. These doctors can be convinced to work in rural areas, if they are given income tax-free salary for serving in rural areas for two years.
  • All doctors who document 10% of free service should be given incentives that are normally given to any trust or society, which includes income tax rebate, non-commercial rates for house tax etc.
  • Every citizen inIndiashould be insured. When driving without insurance is an offence then how come the costliest machinery in the world human body is allowed to walk out of the house without insurance. Government should make insurance compulsory and those who cannot afford, the government should pay for their insurance. Once everybody is insured, hospitals across the country will be automatically established in rural areas.
