He also assured that actions are underway to fill vacancies across all levels, from doctors to support staff.
Dr Kathi Janardhan, the Founder and President of the Telangana Public Health Doctors Association, expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the Health Minister for the prompt sanctioning of the 435 positions for public health doctors. Dr Janardhan also urged the government to further increase the number of posts by incorporating vacancies from other departments to ensure comprehensive healthcare coverage.
Several prominent doctors, including Dr Purnachander, Dr Rambabu, Dr Praveen, Dr Abhiram, Dr Shashi Kumar, Dr Nikhil, Dr Vamsi, Dr Bharat, and Dr Naveen, were present at the event. Public health doctors from various districts also participated, reflecting widespread support and solidarity for the initiative.
The announcement is expected to significantly improve healthcare outcomes in Telangana, particularly in rural and tribal communities where access to medical services has been challenging. The swift implementation of this recruitment process will be crucial in preventing and managing infectious diseases, which are more prevalent during the current season.
