On way to recovery: A patient under treatment at the Plastics Surgery Department of Government Stanley Hospital.
CHENNAI: Government Stanley Hospital’s Institute for Research and Rehabilitation of Hand and Department of Plastic Surgery performed 1,000 surgeries in 2008. Though this is a record for the hospital, the institute’s surgeons say that an equal, if not more, number of patients need such medical attention across the State.
But lack of trained personnel and specialised centres are proving to be hurdles.
Substantiating their case for offering such treatment across the State, the surgeons cite the case of G. Dhanalakshmi (27) of Karur, whose right hand was injured in an accident last August.
The accident occurred when her wrist was caught in the winding machine that she was working on. She was treated at a private hospital in Karur but that could not restore the function of her wrist and fingers. The District Collector, to whom she submitted a petition against the owner of the company, recommended her case to Stanley Hospital’s Plastic Surgery Department.
With two children aged 9 and 7 years and a husband who is a construction labourer, she is hard up for money. Her husband cooks and attends to the children when she comes to Chennai for therapy. “Each month the trip costs me Rs.500. I used to earn Rs.500 a week before the accident,” says Dhanalakshmi, who lost her job after the accident.
Ten-year-old Lakshmi of Puducherry has been coming to the hospital for nine years to get treatment for a birth injury (brachial plexus) that rendered her left arm “useless”. Following a surgery at the hospital she is now able to partially lift her arm. The youngster would have to undergo at least six to seven more surgeries before she could regain 30 per cent of its function, doctors say.
A simple fracture after a fall from a bicycle three decades ago left Balamurugan of Ariyalur disabled as the fracture was treated locally. Now he comes to Stanley hospital for treatment. His psychosomatic problems and a dearth of professional counselling had come in the way of his taking regular treatment, doctors at the hospital say.
In contrast, several others who belong to the city and its suburbs and have suffered severe injuries have fared better. A couple of three-year-old children who lost their toes in road accidents are healing well because they were referred early. Likewise, P. Suresh of Padi, who was injured in a factory accident returned to work three months after treatment. Now all he requires is treatment for scars on the skin. P. Sundaram, whose hand was injured after being punched in at a printing press in 2002, has regained much of the hand’s function and taken up a new job.
Video conferencingPlastic, hand and reconstructive micro surgeon R. Krishnamoorthy says that 77 per cent of the loss of function of hand is due to trauma. Also, 25 per cent of young workers in the 15-24 years age group are the most affected and a fifth of them suffer permanent damage. Given that an estimated 5.86 per lakh persons across the State face such trauma, about 3,600 prostheses are needed to be bought every year.
Every day the department receives 25 to 30 fresh cases of injuries, Dr. Krishnamoorthy says. In its 35 years of existence, the Plastic Surgery Department has treated about three lakh people. But when the patients, particularly those from outside the city, delay their visit to the hospital, it impacts their productive life.
Had people such as Balamurugan, Lakshmi and Dhanalakshmi been referred early, they would have fared better. Setting up a video conferencing system between the tertiary hospital and other centres would ensure more people are treated early and made able to return to work, he says.

Posting of Senior Civil Surgeons in Block Primary Health Centers as BMOs |
Facts:
The govt. sanctioned a total of 2000 posts in 1998 in the cadre of senior civil surgeons in various categories – from Professors, Asso. Professor in medical colleges, SCS (gen) and SCS (specialist) in DMS, SCS BMO in PHCs. In these Professors, Asso. Professors, SCS (specialists) are given to those qualified with master degree. The general category SCS promotion are common for master/ diploma holders and MBBS qualified persons. The general category posts are RMOs in medical colleges and HQGHs, CMOs of GHs, ESI dispensaries, Police dispensaries, ICDS dispensaries, Supdts in HQGHs, ESI Hospitals and BMOs in PHCs – a total of just 800 posts.
Of these, many BMOs are not filled till 2005 as the promotion panel was prepared in 1:1 ratio. ie eligible senior doctors same as the available vacancies. As most (left with remote block PHC vacancies) relinquished promotion, the vacancies could not be filled up. Just 50 out of 305 Block Medical Officer posts were filled, leaving about 250 BMO posts vacant.
To avoid this, TNGDA was insisting filling up of the vacancies thro’ an additional panel for promotion. This was not done. Meanwhile the Director of Public Health thro’ the G.O. 142 of 2005 downgraded the posts of SCS to assistant surgeons. By this about 305 posts – out of about 800 promotion opportunities for Diploma and MBBS doctors were lost.
The TNGDA was fighting since then for restoration of these promotion opportunities.
Meanwhile the Health Officers Association (DDHS etc ) have given a proposal to the govt. for posting of public health personnel (ie municipal health officers as Block Health Officers reviving the SCS posts – 6 months back. |
The TNGDA opposed downgrading of BMOs and posting of Health Officers. So, we went for agitation and succeeded. The SCS posts are about to come.
Yes, doctors who were toiling in PHCs for decades will be able to get the real promotion as SCS and BMOs. If these posts are not available, once they become eligible for SCS, they may have to opt for postings in GHs/ ESI / Medical Colleges
ie you have to just work as BMOs in the cadre of
Asst. Surg. or SAS or civil surgeons and
never as SCS
This is the fact.
Block Medical Officer post in the cadre of SCS is the real promotion for those doctors working in PHCs.
Reality:
· PHC doctors can opt (on promotion) for any general posts in DME side or DMS side.
· There is a very good chance for all senior medical officers in PHCs getting promoted as SCS BMO.
· The last CML number in 2008 SCS (Gen) panel is 3800/ 2005
· With the revival of the SCS Block Medical Officer posts the expected last CML number who can get promotion as SCS will be around 6000 (hoping the SCS panel this year is prepared 1:5 ratio as requested by TNGDA)
· The eligible CML number for promotion as associate professor in DME side ranges from 4500 to 7000/ 2005
Doubts among members · How can a DME side or DMS side doctor come to PHC as Block Medical Officers? By virtue of one’s seniority, he becomes eligible for the post of SCS. On a regular basis the arising vacancy every year is expected to be around 200; out of which 40% from PHC, 55% from DMS and 5% from DME side. By virtue of his seniority, thro’ counseling, one may opt for any vacancy – be it at DME or DMS or DPH side. Assuming equal number of vacancies in DMS and DPH side, the chances of getting a posting in PHC/ GH is equal among DMS and DPH doctor. At present as per panel the CML eligibility for SCS is around 3800. But DME side MD/MS doctors (constituting about 90% of the total DME side doctors) are getting promotion much earlier depending upon the vacancies in various specialities. The DME side MBBS/ Dip doctors (constituting the balance 10% of the DME side doctors) will be eligible to compete with DMS/ DPH doctors for the posts of SCS only by his seniority. (after putting in more than 20 years of service). · SCS will not have adequate experience in PHCs? Most SCS coming from DME/DMS side would have already worked in PHCs in their past. Moreover in most places, only the junior most and 10a1 doctors were working as BMOs – without even clearing the accounts test/ medical code exam. · SCS will move out PHC once they get better postings? This is applicable to about 90% of PHC doctors who are aspiring to get a PG seat or release to DME/ ESI/ GH. · How can some one from outside DPH side just come and take the promotion postings in PHC? Just like PHC doctors getting a chance to move to DMS/ DME side, the DME/DMS side doctors are also allowed to opt for posts in PHCs. - This question on the other hand should be directed towards the DDHS – juniors coming from Health side and controlling the entire district with a meagre service of 3 to 5 years. (TNGDA has planned to pursue this issue and insist that only PHC doctors with more than 10 years service should be posted as DDs) · Why are the DD and public health people weary of SCS BMOs? Some of the DDs are scared that SCS BMOs will demand more powers and they cannot be bully SCS. The vested interests of some of the DDs will not be met as SCS BMOs are their equal cadre. |
So, friends, the issue of BMOs is unnecessarily confused among PHC doctors by certain health officers for vested interest. Our organization is a democratic association, proven time and again. There is always flexibility in the association and by democratic means there is always scope to change or reverse any decision.
Unity is strength.

The Intervention of Non Technocrats
The Intervention of Non Technocrats-
by OP Bhandari 16 Mar 2009Category:
NewsTopic: Can social evils be banished by law alone?
The Intervention of Non Technocrats In the Field of Science Poses Problems The Speed of Development is being hindered by the avoidance and humiliation of Scientists in the present era. In the Administration Hierarchy the non-Technical persons are supreme, their salary are higher. The Talented persons are under the control of even illiterate persons. So many Technocrats are going towards Para-government (Administrative) Services. IF this process of leaving keep on, there would be vacuum in the technological Fields, and without technology the path of progress would be automatically hampered.
IF we analyse the present day education set the gifted students Join P.M.T., P.E.T, I.I.T. Courses. The Second divisionary do their B.A. M.A. Courses and Join R.A.S. R.T.S. or I.A.S. Services andthe remaining third divisionary join politics and the govern the country. These third divisionary decide the technical or non-Technical plans and Formulate policies.
For the speedy development, the tech-plans and policies should be framed and executed by those parsons who are expert as the field. The country will face many problems if the scientific projects are under the control of non-technical hand. Natural calamities can’t be controlled by non technical hands. So the intervention of non-technical persons in technology is causing problems and our development is being badly affected.
Until and unless we give prominence to doctors and engineers, the progress of Corruption is certain in the Country. Though the Situations in the developing countries is not suitable For doctors and engineers, yet they did a lot work for their country’s development They can do more work but they should get rid of Illiterate persons what hamper their work by unwanted pressure. This unreasoned pressure make the Technologists leave their country and assume work where there are better working environment.
Yes. It is correct that in India there is shortage of technocrats but their number is quite enough to select their own director.
How a non-technical inclined person hold chairman ship of Technical committees. This shows that our system has fault somewhere.
A Person without proper knowledge of technology can’t do justification to the post on which he sits.So the intervention of Illiterate persons should be stopped. In the last few years there was acute shortage of drinking water in the state but the head of the committee was non-technical person so how could he find out the reasons and give solutions to the problem? What does the Govt. wants to get by such decisions

Letter from State Secretary
Dr K.Senthil M.D. (Gen)
State Secretary,
Tamilnadu Government Doctors’ Association
Tamilnadu Government Doctors’ Association
3rd March 2009
Dear friends,Best Wishes and greetings.
Thanks for your cooperation in all our past efforts in demanding the Pay / Promotion Parity with the central govt. doctors and in all the other issues.
But now it is time to give our best efforts. Show our Unity.
Pay and Promotion parity is not just the salary part alone. It is our right. When the central govt. doctors and neighboring state doctors have better pay and working atmosphere, we after bringing our state to the top in India, claim our due.
It is time to show our solidarity. Right from the junior most assistant surgeon joined under 10a1 rule or a mobile scheme or under HSP / compulsory post PG postings (all those recruited under Tamilnadu Medical Service) to the senior most Professor or Senior Civil Surgeons and to the cadre of Directors – every one should join the agitation.
Unity is strength. Unity is victory.
No matter your position is. Not regularized, Not declared probation, not cleared special TNPSC, about to retire, due for promotion – it is your duty join the agitation. Every time; in 1986, 1996 – we were not given the due. Now, it is a life time agitation.
Right from our respected Health Minister of TN, Health Secretary, Union Health Minister, most political parties support our rightful cause. Our minister assured for rectification of the pay disparity in the floor of the assembly. But from confidential sources we learn that no suggestions were agreed upon for us by the Pay Committee.
The central govt. doctors are getting lot more salary than our state counterparts. They are getting Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) – recommended exclusively for doctors by the V and VI Pay Commission – ie promotion in 4, 9 and 13 years. Vacancy based promotion only beyond the existing scale of 14300. This they get from 1996 through the V Pay Commission.
We demand this status after 12 years; before the next Pay Commission; after bringing the health care delivery system in our state to the top in the country.
No where in a democratic country were the members penalized for a legitimate agitation, to press their demands. Even those punished by the previous govt. have all cleared of all the charges. So, do not hesitate. This agitation is for you, for us. Join and involve yourselves.
We are not politically inclined. Any govt. is equal to us. But, all along, govt. doctors were given the best possible offers only during the governance of the present CM. During our last pay commission struggle in 1998, we were given 2000 senior civil surgeons posts by the present CM. We were given the “Hospital Protection Act” and “G.O. issuing the protocol to be followed to arrest doctors for any hospital deaths” were all given by the present CM.
This time either we have not reached him or not reached him properly.
Please think. This is very important. Everything else is next. Please sink all differences if any amongst us; be it personal or otherwise.
All the district office bearers are requested to form an “action committee” to coordinate the agitation. Active members are requested to enroll themselves with the district office bearers and help them in coordinating the agitation.
We insist on rectification of anomalies in the Pay and promotion opportunities before implementing the VI Pay commission.
The exclusive recommendation for doctors – the Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) available to the central govt. doctors since 1996 should be granted to the Tamilnadu doctors before fixing their pay slab in the VI Pay Commission. If not we may loose lot of benefits. Govt. has many commitments. Unless we ask, we may not get it.
Junior doctors should be very responsive to this call. TNGDA has always been special to them. Be it – a special TNPSC, 2 years PG eligibility, second special TNPSC, we are there to help them. Now it is your duty to reciprocate. Join the agitation.
IF NOT NOW WE MAY HAVE TO WAIT ATLEAST A DECADE. BETTER NOW.
Time to quote our past State President’s words:
Best wishes…“nalla padaigal illatha thalaivanum, nalla thalaivan illatha padagalum vettri pettrathillai”.

State Executive Committee Resolutions
The State Executive Committee Meeting of the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association was held in Thekkadi on 1st March, 2009.
The State President Dr S. Kanagasabapathy presided the meeting, Dr K. Senthil State Secretary coordinated the meeting. State Treasurers Dr Prakash Karat and Dr Jeyakumar presented the financial report.
The association regretted that inspite of repeated representations and multiple sittings to discuss the issues with the Health Secretary and the Honorable Health Minister; most of the demands, were not solved. Inspite of repeated requests the office bearers were not able to meet the Honourable Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. But many assurances were given by the Honourable Health Minister and the Health Secretary were not implemented.
The doctors working in the best performing state of Tamilnadu are being paid lowest salaries and given poor promotion opportunities.
The association knowing the responsibility and the sensitiveness of their work, was refraining from any direct protest for the past 18 months. After the failure of so many rounds of talks the association is left with no options, but is forced to go for direct action to press its demands.
After elaborate deliberations, the following resolutions were passed unanimously.
1. The TNGDA wishes a speedy recovery for the Honourable Chief Minister Dr Kalaignar from his illness and hale and healthy life.
2. The association resolved to go in for state wide agitation to press the following 9 demands.
