Helpless doctors used as cat’s–paws by a fraction of GMOA to achieve failed political objectives of a bankrupt political party.
JVP in the GMOA office. not working for the medical profession. trying hard to uplift JVP. Bad for the health services and doctors. they think doctors are foolish. third class politics.
These are all PMC related political problems. There are so many qualified medical specialists produced from the earlier PMC, there is nothing wrong with their standards. They passed competitive postgraduate examinations along with government medical school graduates. Therefore it is not possible to argue that PMC graduates would be substandard.
There are so many substandard doctors who fail examinations who are products of government medical schools. Current problem is some thing like a political activists of a failed political party infiltrated GMOA and creates problems for the medical profession which is a profession largely not interested in that type of political activities. Instead of addressing issues relevant to medical personal those elements in the GMOA try to achieve their narrow political objectives while holding medical profession hostage. Medical profession is used as a cat’s paw to achieve their cheep political objectives. Similar attempts were made in the universities and the students did not support them. Medical profession is not happy about the GMOA, medical profession do not like some GMOA members using doctors to achieve their personal political objectives. GMOA is there to address doctor’s common grievances.
