AIIMS Ayush dept trips on OPD service
OPD services at Ayush department of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhopal, have discontinued after all three doctors failed to get an extension from Union ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW). The 30-bed Ayush facility has low OPD and yoga classes would continue for time being. The three Ayush doctors had applied earlier in September for extending services and without any response from MoHFW department OPD services have halted. In patient services were no existent.
The facility was established without requisite permissions from Ayush department and now a recruitment scam will further hit services.
In September 2013, TOI story ‘Medics man stores for AIIMS perks’ had first highlighted how three doctors of Ayush were recruited by the institute without bothering to seek sanction from the Union ministry of health and family welfare.
