Annex – 4

COORDINATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES

The principles governing the manner and type of staffing for the Project has been detailed
in this Annex.

The Concessionaire shall recruit and manage all the required personnel at each level of the
Services in the manner as prescribed under in this Annex.

The Concessionaire shall adopt an effective human resources policy in accordance with the
Applicable Laws;

The Concessionaire shall, during the Concession Period employ fully qualified,
experienced and competent personnel to provide Medical Education to the Students, in
accordance with Applicable Laws and regulations and appoint suitable
officers/staff/representatives to work and supervise in the Project and to deal with the UT
of DNH; and

The Concessionaire shall, during the Concession Period employ fully qualified,
experienced and competent medical personnel including specialists and designate and
appoint suitable officers/staff/representatives to work and supervise in the Project and to
deal with the UT of DNH. At all time the Concessionaire would adhere to the schedule /
norms laid down by the MCI from time to time. This lays down the scale to be fulfilled
in the following aspects of the project in a defined time-bound manner for the following
aspects of the project.

After taking the letter of Intent, certain medical college staff must be employed who
should be present at the time of Inspection by Medical Council of India for giving Letter of
Permission. These staff members must be employed even though no teaching or revenue
earning is taking place as a result of teaching activity especially in Pre-Clinical and Para-
clinical departments. The concessionaire will appoint medical college staff as per
requirements of MCI as placed below.

For Para Clinical and Clinical Departments, existing doctors in SVBCH may be given first
preference if they want to join the Medical College as Teaching Faculty. Their current pay
structure may be protected till they become at-par with teaching faculty.

Ultimately two categories of staff will exist in the medical college - teaching and non-
teaching.
