Hello Dr. Aswathy,

It's commendable that you've been serving in a rural primary health center on a contract basis for the past two years. However, as you've noted, the lack of timely salary payments is a significant concern. This issue has been observed in various regions. For instance, in Nagpur, medical officers appointed on contract for 11 months in primary health centers have reported not receiving their salaries for several months, leading some to consider leaving their positions.

Similarly, in Chennai, contract doctors working in urban primary health centers are paid 35,000 per month, which many find inadequate given the demands of their roles. Some doctors have expressed dissatisfaction with the low pay and lack of career progression opportunities, leading to resignations.

The situation you're experiencing reflects a broader issue faced by contract medical professionals in rural areas. While these positions are crucial for providing healthcare services in underserved regions, the challenges related to salary delays and inadequate compensation can impact the morale and retention of healthcare workers.

If you're seeking advice or support regarding this matter, feel free to share more details, and I'll do my best to assist you.

hope this will help u.
