The Uttar Pradesh government has increased the retirement age of government doctors from 62 years to 65 years to address the shortage of doctors.
In January, a panel was set up to evaluate the proposal for increasing the retirement age from 62 to 65 years of age.
Currently, there are 14,000 doctors working across 19,000 sanctioned posts in the state.
More than a dozen doctors retire every month, reducing the strength by at least 200 a year.
According to the report submitted by the panel, those doctors who opt to work till 65 years of age will not hold any administrative post.
