Big shock for cancer patients?
Why 300 doctors excluded from PMJAY panel?
Right or wrong to exclude doctors from PMJAY panel?
In all countries around the world Cancer The number of patients is increasing rapidly. About 15 lakh cancer patients are reported every year across the country. This number is equal to the total population of a second or third class city. It has been observed that the number of cancer patients of uterus, breast, colon and mouth is high in India. Cancer is emerging as a major health crisis in India. After contracting a rapidly progressive serious illness, physical and mental health deteriorates completely. Apart from this, any part of the body can get infected with cancer.

Proper treatment after cancer is very important. Otherwise, the disease can spread throughout the body. Meanwhile, hundreds of oncologists in several states have been delisted from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. Concerns are being expressed that this may cause a major health crisis in the country. Will general public face shortage of specialist doctors for cancer treatment? Many such questions are being raised. Doctors have sufficient experience and training, but do not have a degree recognized by the National Medical Commission.
MD degree has also been included in the degrees. Doctors who were excluded from the panel were excluded on the grounds that they had undergone fellowship training in the private sector. According to doctors, this decision is very wrong. He points out that until a few decades ago, a fellowship was the only way to learn oncology. Since there was no formal course at that time, fellowship was done. Not only this, even today it is preferred for doctors to work on fellowship for two to three years in a cancer hospital after graduation.
The problems of people who depend on Ayushman cards issued under the central government’s Jan Arogya Yojana for treatment will especially increase. Therefore, people from weaker sections are likely to be hit hard. It should be noted that there is already a shortage of oncologists in India. According to 2018 estimates, the country has one oncologist for every 10 lakh population. Doctors who have been dropped from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana panel include many renowned doctors. Many of these doctors are specialist doctors in the cancer department. Some are medical directors, teachers and senior surgeons and 300 doctors across the country have been removed from the panel.

There are only 4000 oncologists in the entire country. Exclusion of three of them from the panel of Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana could be a big blow. The decision taken by the government could have a huge impact on the treatment of patients, especially those in tier II and III cities. In view of the increasing number of cancer cases, there may be a shortage of cancer specialists in the future.
