Brahm Mohindra hands over appointment letters to 306 new medical officers

SAS Nagar, Nov 14 (UNI) Achieving yet another milestone in providing the quality health services to the citizens of state, appointment letters to 306 newly recruited MBBS doctors were handed over by Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Brahm Mohindra in a simple but impressive function organised here on Wednesday.
Mr Mohindra congratulated the newly appointed doctors and said that he was quite relieved today as this new batch of 306 doctors has become the family of Punjab health department. He said that when he joined the Ministry on March 16, 2017, he was shocked to see that health department was totally in shambles. There was acute shortage of specialist doctors, medical officers, ANMs and paramedical staff.
The Minister said that he set his priority to fill the vacant posts of doctors and paramedical staff and today he was satisfied to see that a large batch of medical officers was joining the health department. He exhorted these doctors to be ready to serve the community with missionary zeal and to wipe off the tears and agonies of the poor and downtrodden by adopting sympathetic approach.
