Absent from duty: Uttarakhand Government Announces Termination of 118 Doctors
Dehradun: In a move to enhance the healthcare facilities and create job vacancies, the Uttarakhand government has announced the termination of 118 doctors. These doctors have been absent from their duties for years without any explanation.
The health department has identified these doctors across all 13 districts.
The state health minister, Dhan Singh Rawat, confirmed that the newly appointed doctors would be appointed to replace the ones who have been terminated for their services. This decision has come through after reviewing the attendance of the doctors on duty. The department aims to complete the termination process in two weeks. A proposal for 276 new posts has already been submitted to the Health Service Selection Board, highlighting the state's commitment to swiftly filling these positions.
Johri added that while the service termination sends a strong message to other absentee doctors, it will also help create vacancies within the department that can be filled by young doctors ready to serve the public.
