Doctors Highlight Faculty Shortages and Infrastructure Gaps in Telangana
Doctors in Telangana are worried because there aren't enough teachers in government medical colleges.
This makes it hard to teach students and take care of patients.
Also, the hospitals don't have enough basic things like medicines and lab supplies.
The doctors are also very busy with extra jobs that aren't related to teaching, which makes them stressed.
They want the government to fix these problems so they can do their jobs better.
Teaching doctors in Telangana highlighted severe faculty shortages in government medical colleges, affecting teaching and clinical services.
Infrastructure deficiencies, including lack of basic medicines and lab reagents, were reported in teaching hospitals.
Non-release of Aarogyasri funds for the past three years has hampered service delivery and hospital functioning.
Faculty are overburdened with excessive non-academic and administrative workload, leading to stress and burnout.
Doctors demanded prioritisation of vertical experience over horizontal experience in appointments and clarity on allowances.
