Deans, CMHOs Can’t Alter Bond Doctors’ Postings In MP, Existing Attachments To End

In Madhya Pradesh, the postings of doctors under bond agreements cannot be altered at the district level, as directed by the Directorate of Public Health and Medical Education. All government medical college deans and CMHOs have been instructed against transferring or modifying the posting details of bond doctors currently serving at government medical colleges and health institutions.

The order, issued under the Commissioner of Public Health and Medical Education, emphasizes that CMHOs or other district-level officials are also prohibited from modifying the appointments of bond doctors. Breach of this directive will result in disciplinary action against the offending officials. The Directorate has further instructed the Deans of medical colleges to ensure that bond doctors are assigned solely to patient treatment and medical duties, and not to any non-medical tasks.

The appointment orders for MBBS and PG bond doctors were issued on September 10, with each doctor assigned to a specific health centre or hospital. Notably, the Directorate has clarified that no changes to these appointment orders will be allowed at the local level. This directive has been communicated to all relevant stakeholders, including medical college Deans, CMHOs, Civil Surgeons, Divisional Commissioners, and District Collectors, mandating strict adherence to the order.
