Medical students are not increasing weekends
Medical students are not increasing weekends. Director General (Acting) of the Directorate General of Health Education (DGHS) Prof. Dr. Nasima Sultana confirmed the matter after a meeting of the Health Ministry on Tuesday (August 23) at noon. AKM Amirul Morshed Khasru.
Although the weekly holidays of educational institutions have been made two days, the weekly holidays in medical are not increasing. As before, all medical college hospitals in the country will have a one-day holiday. Weekly holidays have not been extended in medical colleges as they are associated with the emergency department.
“Since the medical college hospital is associated with the emergency department, it will continue as before. That is, the weekly holiday will be one day off. Unlike other educational institutions, a two-day weekly holiday will not be applicable here. The Secretary has given me this information. ’
In this regard, Additional Director General (Education) of the Department of Health Education Prof. Dr. Abu Yusuf Fakir said, “If the weekly holiday is two days, there will be many technical problems. One of them is: that medical professors are the staff of the college. They also provide medical care in the hospital. Suppose a patient was admitted on Thursday.
Friday is a big doctor’s leave, he is absent on Saturday as well. In such a situation, it will be difficult for a junior doctor to make a decision for a long time. It was found that the patient needed surgery on an urgent basis. In such a situation, if the hospital is senior zero, then the patient will have a big problem. The patient can be anyone— you. ’
