RURAL POSTINGSA critical discourse
Group 5
The Need for Rural postings
• 60% of health workers work in urban areas
• Majority of Indian population – rural areas• Simple ailments progressing to
complications• Number of preventable deaths rising
More doctors in urban setups…
…more people in
rural areas…
Doctor-population ratio?
Communicable diseases are rising…
Why students wouldn’t agree
• Students not exposed to the rural medical setup and problems face by the people
• Lack of basic and emergency facilities• Dearth of infrastructure• Low salary & less security• Language barrier/difficulty in
communicating• Better opportunities in urban areas
Belief in Manipal: is serving in rural areas the duty of every doctor?
What’s wrong about the compulsion?
• Will make young doctors feel shackled• May demotivate them• Lesser family contact time may lead to
increase in the rate of physician burnout
Belief in Manipal: Is refusing to do the duty the right of every doctor?
…a bit more of perspective…
Belief in Manipal: Is compulsory posting the solution?
How should the problem be tackled?
• Proper infrastructure • Increase in pay scale• Reservation for further studies• Sense of humanitarism
Does that sound motivating?
Belief in Manipal: Will exposure to
rural setting during UG help improve
attitudes of medical students towards
practicing in rural setups?
Belief in Manipal: Would you provide medical services in rural areas in the future?
Belief in Manipal: Would you consider working
in a rural area if a PG seat is guaranteed at
the end of tenure?
We suggest…
• Orientation to rural setup during undergraduation
• Incentives like increase in pay, job security, opportunities for higher education
• Involvement of other people from other
fields
What’s your take?
