UP to now track its doctors attendance with geo-fencing
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Government is now going to keep a track of the attendance of its doctors using geo-fencing and location-based tracking
Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra has directed Divisional Commissioners and District Magistrates to start a system of recording online attendance of community health centre (CHC) and primary health centre (PHC) doctors through geo-fencing and clock the timing of their entry and exit to ensure their presence during fixed hours.
This is being done in view of increasing absenteeism of doctors in CHCs and PHCs.
The Chief Secretary said, "We are also launching a special drive to eliminate the chances of plying of unauthorised ambulances in any district."
He directed officials to ensure that those posted in blocks and tehsils necessarily stayed at the place of their posting only.
