Federation of Medical Practitioners Associations national president Raja Siddartha on Tuesday urged both the Union and State governments to recognise the services of medical practitioners and ensure priority for them in jobs at village clinics that are being set up in Andhra Pradesh as well as other States.
Community Rural Medical Practitioners Association organised a meeting in Vizianagaram to discuss the issues of the RMPs. Mr. Siddartha said that it was unfortunate that successive governments have failed to recognise the contributions of 44,000 RMPs in the State, who possessed invaluable experience in ensuring primary healthcare for people living in villages.
