The Himachal Pradesh government has announced that doctors pursuing Post Graduate (PG) courses will be considered “on duty” and receive full salaries, reversing a previous cabinet decision that had reduced their pay to 40%. This change, prompted by concerns raised by medical officers, aims to support doctors’ educational pursuits while enhancing the state’s healthcare system and patient care quality.
