Bambolim: Allegations have surfaced regarding the remuneration of MDS graduates serving under bond duty in Goa’s public healthcare system, with Goa Forward Party chief Vijai Sardesai claiming that they are being underpaid despite performing responsibilities equivalent to senior resident doctors.
Sardesai raised concerns over what he described as a disparity between workload and compensation, stating that young dental specialists deployed in government service are often handling duties beyond their expected role without receiving fair remuneration.
The issue has triggered renewed debate on working conditions and pay structures within Goa’s healthcare sector, particularly for bonded medical professionals who are required to serve the state after completing their postgraduate studies.
Healthcare stakeholders and observers have called for a review of existing policies to ensure equitable pay and better workforce management in government hospitals. The matter is expected to draw further attention from policymakers in the coming days.
Authorities have not yet issued an official response to the allegations.
