Aids For Doctors

At long last the West Bengal Government has woken up to the career needs of the students studying in the state's government medical colleges and the economic needs of the doctors teaching there. Inviting reputed physicians from within the state and outside to deliver lectures at the state's government medical colleges is certainly a positive move so far as the prospects of the budding doctors are concerned. Equally practical is the decision to allow private practice of the doctors teaching at the state's government medical colleges. After all, though the humanitarian service motive is the hallmark of the profession of doctors, it is a gross injustice to the latter, if the government does not allow them to make a few extra bucks by dedicating themselves to the service of a few more patients.
