ORDER:
In the G.O’s
read above, orders have been issued relaxing ban on transfer of
employees
till 10.10.2014. In para 2 (vi) of the said G.O., it is mentioned that separate guidelines
will be issued by the Health, Medical & Family Welfare Department in the case of
transfer of Specialist doctors.
2 . The
services of specialist doctors are considered highly desirable in each
Government
hospital to serve the patients. As such, in the matter of transfer of
specialist
doctors, utmost care has to be taken to ensure that the health services in any hospital
should not suffer due to lack of specialist doctors. The needs of each hospital has to be
taken into consideration while effecting the transfers of specialist doctors. Some of the
Government medical colleges under the control of DME are suffering from severe
shortage of faculty in some specialties in some medical colleges. This shortage
is adversely
impacting to get permissions for admission for both MBBS and PG seats from Medical
Council of India.
3. As far as
the APVVP hospitals are concerned particularly in tribal and rural
areas there
is acute shortage of specialist doctors which hampers the delivery of
specialty
services to the poor patients in remote areas. So there is urgent need to ‘Rationalize’
the services where some doctors are working against mismatch posts without
sufficient work. Mismatch arrangement is only fulfilling individual need but gravely
denying essential services to many.
4. Keeping
this sensivity in view, Government in super session of the earlier
transfer
orders hereby issue the guidelines for transfers of Specialist doctors and other staff
in Medical and Health Department, as appended to this order as annexure.
5 . The
Heads of Departments concerned shall take necessary action accordingly.

AND IN THE NAME OF THE GOVERNOR OF ANDHRA PRADESH)
