Srinagar, Oct 09 (KNS): Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today in a press communique stated that health department is in dire need of overhaul and it is due to callous attitude of the successive governments that the most essential department dealing with humanity, life and death is in shambles. The department needs multi-dimensional reformative changes to get it back on the right track and vibrancy.
The pick and choose method adopted for selection of health administrators has taken heavy toll on various health initiatives and functioning of the department as such and that inturn has resulted in sufferings of common people. The parachuting of junior medical officers into Block Medical officers, Medical Superintendents, chief medical officers etc has resulted in administrative incompetence, indiscipline and degradation of department.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
In order to get discipline and essence of the department back, the first and foremost thing is to restore administrative seniority and appoint administrators for health department on the basis of seniority, credibility, and administrative acumen.
Meanwhile DAK also demanded that directors for health services kashmir/Jammu must be appointed on priority and as early as possible, so that monitoring and surveillance of essential department will continue.
Doctors Association Kashmir further requests His Excellency, Hon'ble Governor of J&K Shri Satya Pal Malik and Hon'ble Advisor for Health, Shri K Vijay kumar to kindly persue this issue urgently so that faith and trust of the people and the doctors in this department is restored at the earliest.
