Citing examples from four hospitals, the report said a sonography machine in Ambejogai hospital purchased at Rs 6.75 lakh went out of order. A CT scan machine at Miraj hospital was out of service. A bond is taken from every student completing MBBS from government run colleges to render service to the government for one year failing which they should pay Rs five lakh. For PG students, the service is of two years failing which they should pay Rs 15 lakh. However, the report said "ninety per cent students passed out of medical colleges did not render service to government." Lack of coordination between the Medical Education and Drugs Department as well as the Health Department resulted in ineffectiveness and poor implementation of the scheme causing loss to the health programme of the government, it said. The CAG has recommended the government to increase intake capacity of medical seats and chalk out a programme for improvement of medical education including sufficient teaching faculty to improve the quality of medical education.
