Sub: Engagement of retired Railway doctors as Contract Medical Practitioners (CMPs).

   To meet the shortage of doctors in Indian Railway Medical service, doctors from open market are engaged as Contract Medical Practitioners (CMPs). Such engagements are made for a maximum period of 8 terms with each term of engagement not being of more than one year and for each term contract being entered afresh. However, it has been observed that despite this scheme being in existence, there is still acute shortage of doctors in Indian Railway Medical Service because of high rate of attrition among CMPs and lack of sufficient response from doctors from open market for engagement as CMP.
