I came to know that those who might not be seeking for NMC Permanent Reg cannot escape MOE as they are not granted some clearance before completing their two year agreement. That's really wise of MOE.

I agree that MOE students should go to remote area but only MOE students going to remote areas can't improve the health situation a lot as many doctors are required in the remote areas. Its the duty of all to serve the nation and so even those studying in self should also try their best to improve the health situation of remote areas. |
Khusboo,
Seeking facilities and good pay by the doctors sent by MOE is asking too much. We are citizens of poor nation and it is foolishness of us to ask so much from the already sinking country.
MOE scholarship holders were not forced to sign the agreement. They did that purely by choice and isn't it unfair to ask for more once government has already done their part of the agreement. If they were not satisfied with what government is already offering they had the choice not to accept the agreement and leave the scholarship. Someone else would have taken it. By the way, why should doctors be treated by government as privileged? They are merely employees of the government. Being doctor does not make anyone better to ask for more facilities and money and bargain with the government.
And about those who take USMLE. That was funny. Our government should work for good of the whole nation not just a handful of those who choose to leave the country for better opportunity and better pay. Government invested to make some good doctors that our communities need and thats what it should. We should criticize if the government allows them to go for their personal benefit. It is out of question. USMLE is for personal benefit and our country needs more hands at work inside the country.
It will again be unwise of the government if it allows MOE students to go outside country to work and later come back and go serve the rural Nepal ad those returning will be better equipped to give better service in specialty hospital not some health center in remote Nepal.
Yes, you are right. Doctors going to villages is not going to change anything much right away. But if they are committed then they can change something in 2 years. But, the condition is that instead of seeing this as an opportunity of life time to do something for the country, everyone is seeing as a catch of the agreement or burden for them. That is not healthy and is not at all good. We have bad people around, who think more for their personal benefit living in material world.
Why don't you see this as a small step by the government to make some giant leap in health sector?
Development does not happen overnight. Rome was not built in a day. Be motivated and help government implement good decisions.
