Wanaparthy: DMHO seizes 2 first-aid centres in raid
Wanaparthy: Some first-aid centres are found to be providing treatments beyond their permitted scope in Pebbair and Srirangapur mandals. RMPs and PMPs who are supposed to offer only basic medical aid, are found administering treatments akin to those given by MBBS doctors.
Previously, District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO) Srinivasulu had conducted awareness programmes, stressing that such practitioners must limit themselves to first-aid only.
However, despite his warnings, RMPs and PMPs continue to treat patients like qualified MBBS doctors. Acting on orders from the DMHO inspections were conducted, and two such first-aid centres were seized. DEMO Ravikumar, MPHEO Ashok, MPHO Narsing Rao, KM Madhukar participated in the inspection.

Seminar on MBBS, global education pathways in Pune draws enthusiastic response
1 2 P une: A large gathering of aspiring students and parents attended an informative Mission Admission seminar organised by The Times of India jointly with The Astute Academy at Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao Junior College auditorium on Sunday. Conducted by Tushar Vinod Deoras, a former BARC scientist and chairman of Astute Academy, the seminar aimed to demystify the complexities of Indian and international admissions for MBBS and higher education. The first session focused on the Indian MBBS admission process, offering clarity for students with NEET scores as low as 200. Attendees also learned about affordable pathways to study medicine in the United States through structured Indo-American university collaborations. The second session delved into undergraduate and postgraduate admissions in the US and Germany. Parents and students were provided with detailed guidance on securing spots at prestigious universities abroad. During the first session, Deoras shared a wealth of information. He pointed out that many private medical colleges offer donation-free management quota merit seats. He explained fee structures, wherein funding is controlled by govt, and proposed to students tripartite Indo-American university partnered systems, which provide affordable, sophisticated modern medical education in the US and subsequently offer employer-relevant value around the globe. The second session was about undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered in the US and Germany, particularly emphasising on Ivy League schools and Germany's technical universities. Deoras noted how flexible and multidisciplinary the US system is, with more emphasis on career focus than rigid course structures. He urged students to start building their profiles as early as Std IX and to apply to international universities at least one year in advance, as most operate on a first-come, first-served basis. He said, "Quality education and a successful career are a student's fundamental right. Students and parents should not judge countries by stereotypes but understand which system aligns best with the student's goals." A highlight of the seminar was its interactive nature. One parent shared, "The session was very enlightening. Many doubts regarding my son's education were resolved, and I feel much more at peace now." Another participant raised a query about dentistry as a career path, to which Deoras responded that it remains an underappreciated but highly rewarding field in India. While initial years in practice may be challenging, dentistry offers significant long-term growth and financial prospects. Deoras also addressed several audience questions about state-wise admission quotas for MBBS, the application process for foreign universities, and the admission timelines and requirements for medical education abroad. The seminar concluded with a positive response from the audience who appreciated the transparency, practical guidance, and motivational approach.

DB stays order relaxing bond conditions to PG doctors
Shimla, June 8 (UNI) The Himachal Pradesh High Court has stayed a Single Bench order that had directed the release of original MBBS degrees and undated cheques to a group of doctors who had completed their postgraduate studies. The state government preferred a Letters Patent Appeal (LPA No. 285 of 2025) against the decision, arguing that the doctors were trying to avoid their legal obligation to serve in government health services as agreed under a bond. The division bench of Chief Justice G.S. Sandhawalia and Justice Ranjan Sharma stayed the impugned order, maintaining that the bond conditions and two years of mandatory service in the rural areas couldn't be relaxed once MBBS signed the bond. The State, represented by Advocate General Anup Rattan along with Pranay Pratap Singh and Swati Draik, told the court that each doctor had signed a bond of Rs 40 lakh in January 2022, agreeing to work for the State for two years after completing their course. They were also paid monthly stipends by the government during their studies. The policy behind the bond aims to ensure that trained doctors serve poor and rural areas of Himachal Pradesh. However, after the results were declared on April 7, 2025, the doctors wrote to the government on April 9, asking for the return of their degrees and cheques, claiming that they hadn't received field posting orders within the time limit set by the policy. The policy says that posting orders must be issued within one month of the result declaration, failing which the bond would not apply. The doctors argued that this condition was not met. The State disagreed, explaining that the candidates had only been officially relieved from their colleges on March 10, 2025, and that the posting orders were issued on April 10, 2025. They argued that the timeline should start from the relieving date, not the result date, and that the State had acted within the required time. The State further accused the doctors of trying to escape their service obligations while having already taken full benefit of the scheme for three years. The Division Bench found that the matter needs closer examination. The court noted that the doctors approached the court on April 23, 2025—after the government had already issued their posting orders. It questioned why the doctors didn't first seek enforcement of the postings if they were serious about joining service. As a result, the High Court stayed the Single Judge's directions to release the degrees and cheques. However, it allowed the part of the judgement that asked the State to take action against officials responsible for any delay in issuing the posting orders. The case would now be heard again on August 4, 2025. This case raises important questions about the enforcement of service bonds and the responsibilities of medical professionals who receive government-funded education. The court would consider whether the doctors' actions were genuine or an attempt to avoid public service duties. UNI ML ARN
