The administration is making "all-out efforts" to improve health services in a phased manner, specifically tailored for the district's tribal residents, District Health Officer (DHO) Dr Santosh Chowdhari said on Thursday, reports PTI.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the Maharashtra government has granted conditional promotions to 190 medical officers in the public health department as part of an effort to strengthen healthcare delivery in tribal, remote, and Naxal-affected regions of the state. In the initial phase, these 190 officers from Group ‘B’ of the Maharashtra Medical and Health Services have been elevated to Group ‘A’ positions, with the advancement contingent upon fulfilling the required service terms. Authorities have directed all promoted medical officers to assume their new roles without delay. According to The Daily, the promotions are based on the condition of being willing to serve in tribal, remote, and difficult regions of the state.
