Doctors' deputation will be cancelled to improve health services in Punjab: Balbir Sidhu

Chandigarh, Jun 19 (UNI) Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu on Wednesday said the deputations of Medical Officers will be cancelled, in order to provide quality health care facilities in the state government hospitals, especially those falling in the border and remote areas.
Stating this in his maiden meeting with all civil surgeons here, Mr Sidhu said the Civil Surgeons should ensure in their respective hospitals that doctors only prescribe medicines available in the government hospitals, so that the needy people do not have to buy medicines from private chemists at exorbitant prices.
To further improve the performance of hospitals and streamline their functioning, 535 nurses (ANM) have been recruited under the National Health Mission last month and another 114 nurses will be recruited by the last week of June, he added.
