Mandatory rural service meant to help the poor: Ramadoss
Special Correspondent
S. Ramadoss
CHENNAI: The one-year mandatory service in rural areas for medical students has been proposed with a view to providing the basic medicare to people in such areas, S. Ramadoss, Pattali Makkal Katchi founder, said on Tuesday.
[The Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss belongs to the PMK and it is his Ministry which has mooted the proposal.]
No final decision
Addressing a press conference in Chennai, the PMK founder said the issue concerned people at the lower strata of society and no final decision had been taken on the move. Highlighting the conditions of government-run health care institutions in rural areas, he wanted to know whether the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, which had been in power alternately for most of the last 40 years, could declare that the primary health centres functioned properly.
Unanimous decision
Dr. Ramadoss said that the State Health Ministers’ conference at New Delhi had once unanimously decided that the law on compulsory service in rural areas should be implemented immediately. The conference, presided over by the present Union Health Minister, was attended among others by the Minister from Tamil Nadu. He said the system of mandatory rural service was in vogue in different States including Maharashtra and Kerala.
