Doctors Allege Discrimination in TVVP Specialist Recruitment
Some doctors in Telangana who were selected for specialist jobs are upset because the government is only giving job offers to doctors in certain departments like obstetrics, gynaecology, anaesthesia, and paediatrics.
They think this is unfair because doctors in other departments who applied at the same time are still waiting.
The doctors are worried that those who get jobs first will have an advantage in promotions and career growth.
They want the government to either give job offers to everyone at the same time or make sure that the seniority of all doctors is protected.
Doctors allege discrimination in the recruitment of 1,623 specialist posts under TVVP.
Only 623 candidates from obstetrics, gynaecology, anaesthesia, and paediatrics have received appointment orders.
Doctors from other specialties are yet to receive appointment orders despite applying through the same notification.
The staggered recruitment process is seen as providing an unfair advantage to the first batch of candidates.
Doctors demand uniform recruitment or protection of seniority for all selected candidates.
