Chandigarh, Sep 7 (PTI) Recruitment process for 430 medical officers has been completed and appointment letters will be dispatched to selected candidates from Monday onwards, said Sumita Misra, Haryana’s Additional Chief Secretary, Health and Family Welfare.
The new recruits bring expertise from a broad spectrum of vital medical fields, further expanding specialist services in government health institutions, according to an official statement.
The appointments include 11 doctors in surgery, 18 in anaesthesia, 19 each in orthopaedics and paediatrics, four in psychiatry, 11 in ophthalmology, 16 in obstetrics and gynaecology, 18 in pathology, four in pharmacology, four in ENT, and one in biochemistry.
Misra emphasized that the postings are carefully designed to maximise the impact of the new medical workforce and bolster specialist services at secondary-level government health institutions.
Specialist doctors are now stationed at district and sub-divisional civil hospitals where they are most needed, a move set to enhance specialist care and make medical treatment more accessible for patients at government hospitals, she said.
At the grassroots, MBBS medical officers are filling vacant positions at community health centres and primary health centres, a step that will boost doctor availability and bring quality healthcare closer to both urban and rural communities, the statement said.
The newly appointed medical officers are expected to report to their assigned locations within 15 days of receiving their appointment letters, ensuring a swift transition into their new roles and timely strengthening of healthcare services.
Misra said the completion of the recruitment process marks an important step towards filling medical officer positions in the Health Department and strengthening the medical workforce across Haryana. PTI SUN KVK KVK
