The government faces difficulties in hiring specialist doctors, a committee led by Dr Chop Lal Bhusal has recommended leniency in their appointment and waiver of the compulsory one-year experience for doing a post-graduate course in these subjects.The government is finding it hard to attract specialist doctors including general physicians, anaesthesiologists, radiologists and pathologists to work in state-run hospitals. Despite announcing vacancies several times, very few doctors have applied for these positions and even those hired quit after they are asked to serve outside Kathmandu. A report submitted by the seven-member Recom-mendation Committee on Medical Education, chaired by Dr Bhusal, former chairman of the Nepal Health Research Council, states that the mandatory one-year experience for MBBS doctors before they can be enrolled in a PG course should be waived for specified subjects for a given period of time.
