Message from Dr Puvanachandra (UK Member of International Medical Committee Prashanti Nilayam responsible for organizing Rota for the UK)

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

Sairam!

 

Our Beloved Bhagawan has blessed the Physicians from overseas with an opportunity to provide medical services on a continuous basis at the Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital (SSSGH) in Prashanti Nilayam. We will make this offering of love at the Divine Lotus Feet of our dearest Lord Sai.  We will provide the best medical care with reverence and humility.

 

Rota Period

We will serve from June to March every year except for the months of March April and May.   


Minimum period of service will be for 2 weeks at a time, namely 1st to 15th or 15th to the end of the month.

 

Specialties Required

 

The emphasis is on providing primary care. At present we require GPs, General Physicians, Pediatricians and those in training with at least three years post basic qualification. A special Rota is arranged for Anesthetists and ENT specialists.

 

Those who have just qualified as doctors will find it difficult to manage the OPD at the General Hospital.

 

Qualifications/Requirements of Indian Medical Council (IMC)

 

·        Anyone interested to serve, please complete the enclosed CV Template and send it by E-mail to Dr Puvanachandra on brynsai@hotmail.com 

 

·        All Physicians should have “a valid current license to practice medicine” in the UK and this will be submitted to the Indian Medical Council to get license in reciprocity to practise in India.

 

·        All doctors need permission by the Indian Medical Council to practice in the Sathya Sai General Hospital. In order to enable us to complete the formalities of processing your application speedily, we need full information from you at the same time. Please complete and return the enclosed Application form for Indian Medical Council.

 

·        Those doctors who have qualified in India and have the registration with the Indian Medical council and also still have Indian citizenship,  do not need the IMC registration application

 

Other Guidelines

I note below additional guidelines:

 

·        Each doctor will work as part of and along with the staff of the SSSGH and will be governed by the rules and regulations of SSSGH.

 

·        All doctors are subject to the credentialing and selection process under the guidelines of the International Medical Committee- Prashanti Council.

 

·        During each rotation two to four physicians will be working at a time at the hospital.

 

·        For effective communication with the patients knowledge of English is essential. It is advantageous to know Telugu because the local language spoken by most of the patients is Telugu. 

 

If you wish to discuss or require any further information, please contact Dr Puvanachandra on brynsai@hotmail.com  or by Telephone: 01492 516510

 

Let us all pray to Swami for His love and Divine guidance so that we serve Him as worthy instruments in His Divine mission.

 

Jai Sai Ram.

Lovingly in Sai Service
