Delhi Administration Doctor's Welfare Association

Dear Dr. H.P. Singh, We have taken note of your views and of the complaint. This case is dear to us and let me take this opportunity to put some facts before you and our members,

1. This case is not a PIL but a case filed by DADWA and 8 other petitioners in Delhi High Court. All India GDMO Assocn. (Dr. B.B. Jena) had filed a petition about 10 years back and due to an adverse observation we had first filed an appeal before Delhi High Court last year and allowed us to file this case afresh in CAT without prejudice to the earlier judgement.

2. CAT heard this case but dismissed our petition. This judgement we wish to challenge in high court. Since stakes are high and we do not wish our petition to be dismissed we did a lot of ground work, collected papers and notification of other states and filed this case two months back.

3. Since interest of thousands of doctors is affected, we decided not to take any chance and engaged a senior advocate. You along with others were present in his chamber when our advocate briefed him before the court vacation.

4. We clarify that the question is not of your or of retirement of 8 petitioners (five out of who since retired) but the fact that none of us can afford to loose the case at admission stage.

5. You are aware that daily hundreds of petitions are not admitted by the courts and we would not like to be driven by our or your wish but the advice of our advocates.

6. From DADWA side I assure you we will not fight this case half-hearted. But by admitting that you are retiring in Oct. 2012 you seem to have accepted defeat without our advocate arguing.

There are no guarantees in courts and one may win or lose. But with desire to win, sincere effort, good lawyers (and money to pay them) we stand a good chance. So we take chance and He decides the win.

Now please give the money collected by you at GBPH for DADWA to DADWA as promised by you once the case comes next week. We mean no offense.

Happy friendship day!     -Dr. Vijay Rai, Secretary DADWA

Dear all, I am retiring in the month of October 2012. For last few months DADWA is telling that it will file a PIL for enhancement of retiring age of GDMOs but that day is yet to come. Several doctors have since retired but had any  office bearere of DADWA been retiring then it would have been done without wasting even a single minutes. Lastly I can say DADWA should think seriously about this matter and do needful earliest. With regards to all, -Dr. H.P. Singh

Dear Dr. Anil, You concern is genuine. Ideally the GNCTD should honor its commitment given in Honorable CAT in the case filed by DADWA (refer to our last months) that all CHS doctors opting for DHS will be given all benefits of service in CHS. But the notified Service Rules of DHS do not state so. Therefore the Govt. can any time express regrets on this basis and take a stand in the court that the doctors at the time of giving options were well aware of the rule position. If the Govt. were gentlemen, they should amend the rules suo moto, but we are in any case taking this up with Delhi Govt. shortly. Please follow the message board. -Secretary DADWA

Dear colleagues and respected members of DADWA, I find it very shocking that till date not a single Doctor who are drawing Grade pay 8700/ and above have not raised the point about DGEHS entitlement. Where even an Administrative officer with lower grade pay is allowed to visit any Govt approved private hospital but Doctors drawing salary wth GP 8700/- and above  still need a referal to go to a Govt apprved private hospital

i would like the DADWA executive body to look into the matter and i hope everyone who is affected will agree with my view. Thanks

It was a wonderful idea on the part of DADWA executive to have started this website as an excellent platform to express our views. I appreciate the efforts of our leaders in this regard. I feel confident taht DADWA would achieve its goal under this leadership if all stand behind them. I think it is a nice idea that DHS should have only two stream of doctors instead of multiple streams. Graduates can work in hospitals and dispensaries with facilities to augment their careers. Teaching responsibility should be competitive and open to all who think have a flare to do so. Imagine the future if doctors grow out of their narrow outlook within defined labels as GDMO, Specialists (non-teaching and teaching) and as many types of contractual/adhoc doctors. PLEASE STAND UNITED AND ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST. LONG LIVE DOCTORS UNITY!

There is vision and substance in the views above. Any hospital administrator would agree that hospital services need and deploy not only doctors but various types of health personnel. Doctors also are required to perform functions that are integral to the working of a hospital. It is a bad policy to call one function superior to another and to label people as superior or inferior. Take example of human body which is a perfect example of co-ordinated action by all systems for its well being. Which organ or system can one sacrifice just because it is less important!!

Having been 'in' for >26 yrs now & also tasted UN experience ( 2 yrs) my views:

CHS officers in general and those with health/hospital adm. qualification  are better suited for management of health instead of the Generalist administrators (e.g. DANICS) Service conditions of majority of us are far below our entitled status even when they are outside Delhi admn .

Salaries, perks & priviledges ( telephone, vehicle, office parapheralia etc.) need be available as per need and rate of re-imbursement is to be raised with tax exemption on > 75 % of our income in view of service to the Humanity. We are not working any less than what one does in UN! MO cadre should also be entitled to Annual leave as is available to teaching cadres

Lastly doctors must learn to live to resolve their internal differences or else leave peacefully with them. Remove barriers between various types of doctors viz. ad-hoc/recular, MOs/specialists/teachers etc. Ad-Hocs are also our colleagurs working with us despite facing  disdain & humiliations day in & day out. After all what is their fault in being adhoc for 8-9 yrs now?  MOs with PG should be be utilized as specilaists in public interest and designated so. ( IT SHOULD BE OUR ENDEAVOR)

Pls treat it as my personal thoughts without any malice to anyone.

regards, --- Dewan, DK
