The Government Doon Medical College (GDMC) hospital has decided to provide incentive to the hospital employees under the Atal Ayushman Uttarakhand Yojana (AAUY) within the current week. Stating this, the medical superintendent of GDMC hospital Dr Dhananjay Dobhal informed that the hospital administration has consistently allocated incentives to the hospital employees under AAUY for the past three years as a means of enhancing their motivation. He explained that through this scheme, a minimum of Rs five lakh for treatment is provided free of charge to each patient, with the government later reimbursing the hospital. Subsequent to the refund receipt, 50 per cent is utilised for procuring essential treatment-related items, while the remaining 50 per cent is divided accordingly; 35 per cent is designated for additional expenses, and the remaining 15 per cent is distributed among hospital employees, encompassing doctors, nurses, ward personnel and other staff, as an incentive, he said.
Dobhal further added that the hospital has decided to provide incentives to the employees twice a year, once during Deepawali and once during Holi. The incentives were distributed to the employees on the last Deepawali. However, various unavoidable reasons such as employee transfers and national holidays have caused a delay in issuing the incentives under AAUY during this Holi. Further, the hospital administration has decided to distribute the incentives to the employees within this week.
Regarding the allocation of a 15 per cent incentive among hospital employees, he mentioned that five per cent of the incentives are allocated to the surgical team, three per cent to nursing staff, one per cent to ward boys, one per cent to data operators and the remaining percentage to other employees.
