Delhi LG nod to appointment of 232 GDMOs in Government Hospitals
New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena, has approved the posting of 232 General Duty Medical Officers (GDMOs) across various government hospitals in the national capital.
These doctors were appointed through the UPSC as part of efforts to address the long-standing vacancy issue in government hospitals, following instructions from the Lieutenant Governor after he took office, the LG office said on Sunday.
According to an ANI report, they were assigned as Group "A" officials and would be posted to several hospitals, including Lok Nayak, Raja Harish Chandra, Lal Bahadur Shashtri, and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospitals, among others, as well as other CDMO offices. Their assignments were completed through the NCSSA.
It is expected that these appointments will bring relief to the situation caused due to inordinate delays over the past many years in the appointment of permanent doctors, with the AAP government focusing on appointments on a contractual basis in an ad-hoc manner.
