Appointed as Group ‘A’ officers, their postings have been done through the NCSSA and they will be placed at various hospitals including Lok Nayak, Raja Harish Chandra, Lal Bahadur Shashtri, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospitals etc and various other CDMO offices, it said.
The LG’s office said it is expected that these appointments will bring relief to situations caused due to “inordinate delays over the past many years in appointment of permanent doctors, with the AAP government focusing on appointments on contractual basis in an adhoc manner”.
