Orissa HC seeks response from Health Department on time-bound plan for filling up vacant doctor posts
Advertisement
Cuttack: The Orissa High Court has recently sought a response from the Additional Chief Secretary Department of Health and Family Welfare on the exact number of vacancies in each of the doctors' posts and the time-bound steps proposed to fill up the vacancies.
This came after the high court observed a lack of a time-bound plan necessary to fill up the vacant posts in State-run hospitals and medical facilities.
As per a recent media report by TNIE, dissatisfied with the process of filling up the vacancy, the division bench of Chief Justice S Muralidhar and Justice B P Routray directed the Additional Chief Secretary Department of Health and Family Welfare to file an affidavit informing the court about the exact number of vacancies in each of the posts and the time-bound steps planned to fill up the vacant posts.
