The state government has taken a historic and extremely relief decision for the medical students of Uttar Pradesh and the youth associated with medical education. Taking a positive stance on the long standing demands, the Uttar Pradesh government has drastically increased the stipend of MBBS and BDS students doing internship in government medical colleges and dental colleges. Under this latest and important decision, the monthly allowance of intern doctors has been almost doubled, which will now provide strong financial support to these young doctors every month. For these future doctors who provide their services day and night in health services, this decision will prove to make their days of struggle easier. This step of the government has not only created an atmosphere of great enthusiasm among the medical students of Uttar Pradesh, but it also seems to be becoming an example for other states of the country.
Historic increase in stipend and financial relief
According to the order issued by the Department of Medical Education and Training, till now the honorarium received by MBBS and BDS intern doctors in Uttar Pradesh was much less compared to the current inflation and their working hours. Young doctors and resident associations were continuously demanding that the stipend of interns be revised in UP on the lines of other big states of the country. Showing sensitivity, the government has given green signal to this proposal, after which there has been a huge increase in the amount received per month by intern doctors. After this increase, the way has now been cleared for MBBS and BDS intern doctors to get an attractive stipend of around Rs 20,000 to Rs 23,000 or more every month, which will be directly transferred to their bank accounts. This financial increase will help these youth to fully focus on their studies and serving patients without any financial stress.
The struggle of intern doctors who provide services day and night and the initiative of the government
After completing medical studies, every student has to undergo a rigorous one-year internship in hospitals. During this time, these young doctors treat patients shoulder to shoulder with senior doctors round the clock in Emergency Services, ICU, OPD and wards. Many times they have to provide their services continuously for 24 to 36 hours without stopping. In such a difficult and challenging environment, lack of economic stability was a major cause of mental stress. This double stipend decision of the Uttar Pradesh government has rightly evaluated the hard work of these young doctors. Health experts believe that when young medical workers get proper honorarium and respect, their efficiency improves further, which directly benefits the health system of the state and the general public.
Strengthening health services and response of medical students
Many major steps are being taken by the government to continuously modernize and strengthen the health infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh. On one hand, new medical colleges are being opened in the districts of the state, while on the other hand, human resources related to medicine are also being completely strengthened. After this decision came to light, Uttar Pradesh Resident Doctors Association and student unions of various medical colleges have expressed gratitude towards Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Medical Education Department. Students say that this decision will not only reduce their financial burden but will also motivate them to serve the poor and needy patients with more dedication and devotion. In the coming time, this step will also play an important role in preventing brain drain of qualified and skilled doctors in the state, which will take the medical system of Uttar Pradesh to new heights.
