The Haryana government has recruited 430 medical officers bringing specialist doctors to district and sub-divisional civil hospitals.
Misra emphasised that the postings are carefully designed to maximise the impact of the new medical workforce and bolster specialist services at secondary-level government health institutions. Specialist doctors are now stationed at district and sub-divisional civil hospitals where they are most needed, a move set to enhance specialist care and make medical treatment more accessible for patients at government hospitals. The appointments included 11 doctors in surgery, 18 in anaesthesia, 19 in orthopaedics, 19 in paediatrics, four in psychiatry, 11 in ophthalmology, 16 in obstetrics and gynaecology, 18 in pathology, four in pharmacology, one in biochemistry, three in radiation oncology, 14 in medicine, one in microbiology, four in respiratory medicine, four in radio diagnosis, two in family medicine, five in forensic medicine, three in dermatology, six in community medicine and four in ENT, among other appointments.
At the grassroots, MBBS medical officers are filling vacant positions at CHCs and PHCs, a step that will boost doctor availability and bring quality healthcare closer to both urban and rural communities.
