Key Highlights

  • In one of the most serious cases, a doctor posted at the Gautam Nagar Chief Minister Sanjeevani Clinic was found marking attendance from nearly 500 kilometres away.
  • Even on regular days, the doctor’s attendance location was consistently recorded 11–12 kilometres away from the clinic, indicating that he was often absent despite being shown as present on duty.
  • Another case emerged from the Bag Mugalia Sanjeevani Clinic, where multiple photographs uploaded through a single doctor’s ID showed different individuals.
  • This suggested that attendance was being marked by proxy, with others clicking photographs in place of the concerned doctor. Speaking to India Today, Bhopal CMHO Manish Sharma said the Sanjeevani Clinics were launched to provide accessible healthcare to the poor and needy in their own localities.
  • He stressed that absenteeism by doctors directly harms patients and will not be tolerated.
