Govt doctors demand special allowances for remote postings in Telangana

Government doctors posted to new medical colleges and hospitals in remote and peripheral regions of Telangana are highly discontented. 

This dissatisfaction stems from the State government’s hesitation to provide special allowances to senior doctors, who are discharging their duties in peripheral and remote areas.

While super-speciality doctors are expected to provide training to PG



doctors, extend high-end medical care to patients in districts and maintain physical presence during routine National Medical Commission (NMC) inspections, their payment is not on par with counterparts in urban centres like Hyderabad and even Warangal.

There is a significant disparity in salaries among doctors who work in Hyderabad and remote regions in districts such as Adilabad, Mulugu and Jayashankar Bhupalapally.
