In a significant move to strengthen rural healthcare, the Haryana Health Department is preparing to induct the first batch of nearly 600 MBBS graduates under the state’s bond policy by February 2026. To accommodate this influx and future batches, the department has sent a proposal to the government to create 3,000 supernumerary posts.
Bond Policy Implementation
-
The Cohort: These doctors belong to the 2020-21 batch of government medical colleges, the first to graduate under the policy requiring students to serve in government hospitals or pay a ₹30 lakh bond.
-
Service Terms: Graduates who opt for government service will have their bond amount (loan) fully repaid by the government. They will be designated as General Duty Medical Officers (GDMOs) or State Service Bond Doctors.
-
Salary: Their remuneration will be at par with contractual MBBS doctors employed by the National Health Mission (NHM), currently set at ₹75,000 per month plus a 5% annual increment.
Deployment Plan
-
Locations: The NHM and Directors of Medical Colleges have been tasked with identifying vacancies in Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), and District Hospitals to post these doctors.
-
Choice System: Postings will be allocated on a merit-cum-choice basis.
-
Future Posts: The proposal for 3,000 new posts is currently awaiting approval from the Finance Department. This aims to ensure a permanent structure for absorbing bond graduates in the coming years.
