Notably, when Punjab came into existence, the departments of Health & Family Welfare and Medical Education & Research were a single entity, with a common set of promulgation in 1945.
Later, the departments of Medical Education & Research and Health & Family Welfare were split into different departments, and separate directorates of Health & Family Welfare and Medical Education & Research were established. The Medical Education & Research department came into existence on April 2, 1973.
However, the cadre controlling authority of various categories of Para-medical staff under the Directorate of Medical Education & Research remained under the control of the Health & Family Welfare department, with the official staff of Grade-3 and Grade-4 in Directorate of Health and Family Welfare having common seniority.
