Kozhikode MCH authorities pull out all the stops to take in NAJRs

The authorities at the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Kozhikode, are reportedly pulling out all the stops to appoint non-academic junior resident doctors (NAJRs) to fill vacancies that emerged after the recent culmination of the tenure of the 2019 batch of house surgeons. An NAJR is a doctor who has completed the MBBS course and is working as a junior resident in a medical college hospital but is not pursuing a postgraduate medical degree. According to sources, the tenure of around 240 house surgeons ended on June 23. It will take at least three months for the new batch to assume duty. The delay has been attributed to the postponement of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for undergraduate medical courses during the COVID period and the subsequent delay in admissions, conducting MBBS examinations, and the declaration of results. However, the gap left by over 200 outgoing house surgeons—who, along with postgraduate doctors, form a vital part of the hospital workforce—has placed the authorities in a crisis. The existing medical staff is already overburdened due to an increasing number of patients and an acute staff shortage across key departments such as general medicine, casualty, and others. Though the Director of Medical Education issued an order last month to appoint around 120 NAJRs, only 45 doctors from the 2019 batch appeared willing to take up the job. Of them, only six have so far joined duty as the others reportedly have some other academic commitments. The sources said that they are expected to join duty only by July 20. At the same time, the authorities are conducting a walk-in interview to pick NAJRs on July 4. Those with an MBBS degree and registration in the Travancore-Cochin Medical Council, aged up to 36, can attend the process. Their tenure will be either up to September 15 or till the new batch of house surgeons takes over. It is also learnt that efforts are also being made to rope in qualified doctors who have completed the medical course in other States or other countries. Meanwhile, members and functionaries of the pro-Left Kerala NGO Union, Kerala Government Nurses' Association and the Kerala Government Officers' Association formed a human chain around the hospital on Thursday (July 3) against the alleged attempts to break the public health sector in the State. This was against the backdrop of a social media post by a senior doctor attached to the Government Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, about the bureaucratic red tapism that is preventing proper medical services to needy patients.

Bengaluru doctor in 32 years has treated thousands of hearts, but his son just gave him the ultimate gift

— DrDeepakKrishn1 (@DrDeepakKrishn1) The path of a physician is often lined with trials and responsibilities that few other professions demand. Navigating the delicate balance between hope and mortality is not for the faint of heart. Yet for those who dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to medicine, such trials can become a source of purpose and fulfillment. Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy , a respected figure in the world of cardiology , recently reflected on his long and impactful medical career in a heartfelt post on social media platform X. With a journey that began in 1993 when he enrolled in an MBBS program, he has now completed over three decades in healthcare. After earning his MD in internal medicine and subsequently acquiring a Diplomate of National Board (DNB) in cardiology, he has been actively practicing as a cardiologist since Krishnamurthy shared that the medical field has gifted him with everything he once dreamed of—professional success, the confidence of his patients, personal satisfaction, and a steady career. However, the most cherished reward, according to him, is the admiration of his son, who aspires to enter the same demanding profession, fully aware of the sacrifices it involves. For Dr. Krishnamurthy, this desire from the next generation to continue the legacy of care and compassion stands as a deeply humbling affirmation of his life's Dr. Krishnamurthy serves as a lead consultant and senior interventional cardiologist at KIMS Hospital in Mahadevapura. Beyond his clinical duties, he has established a strong digital presence. With over 70,000 followers on X, he uses his platform to spread awareness about cardiovascular health and to demystify complex medical concepts for the general public. His ability to connect with people both inside and outside the hospital walls has made him a widely admired health commitment, compassion, and resilience, Dr. Krishnamurthy exemplifies the highest values of the medical profession. His story stands as a reminder that while the road of healing is not without hardship, it is also filled with profound meaning, reward, and impact.

Charak, Sushruta awards for state's top doctors announced on National Doctor's Day

Dehradun: State health minister Dr Dhan Singh Rawat announced the launch of the Charak Award and Sushruta Award on National Doctor's Day to honour MBBS doctors and faculty from govt medical colleges for their outstanding contributions to medicine. The announcement, made on Tuesday, came during the Doctor of the Year Award 2025 event at Doon Medical College in Dehradun. Named after two pioneers of Indian medical science—Charaka, the father of Ayurveda, and Sushruta, the father of Ayurvedic surgery—the awards aim to recognise excellence in both practice and medical education. The rollout may begin next year. This initiative follows the state's earlier move to replace the Hippocratic Oath with the Maharshi Charak Shapath, as recommended by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Dr Rawat said the awardees will receive monetary rewards of Rs 1 lakh, Rs 75,000, and Rs 50,000, and be eligible for international study support. They will also get a two-year relaxation in transfer policy, which is yet to be finalised. He added that a dedicated policy for the medical education department is being prepared to address faculty vacancies and improve healthcare services in the state's hilly and rural regions. On Wednesday, Dr Rawat criticised the slow progress in the construction of medical colleges, saying delays had escalated costs. While the state planned to set up a government medical college in each of its 13 districts, only four are currently operational with student batches. He added that the department is also focused on strengthening the public healthcare system through large-scale recruitment of specialist doctors, medical officers, nurses, paramedics, and technical staff across government hospitals and medical colleges.
