While the Health Department aims to strengthen cardiology services in government medical colleges, its plan to rationalise existing cardiologist posts by upgrading, redeploying and surrendering excess posts has triggered concern among a section of doctors, who say redeploying doctors is not a long-term solution; instead suggested creating new posts.
According to an official communication sent by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) and Research to deans of government medical colleges, details have been sought on cardiologist posts that can be upgraded, redeployed, or surrendered.
