Kerala govt. introduces special HR cell in Health department
Health Minister K. Muraleedharan says the decision to form the special cell was taken as vacancies in the department were remaining unfilled as promotions were not taking place
The Kerala government has introduced a special HR cell within the Health department to address longstanding issues with seniority lists and promotions for doctors. Health Minister K. Muraleedharan announced the formation of the cell, stating that it was established due to the backlog of promotions and unfilled vacancies in the department.
Doctors have been facing challenges with unresolved files and procedural delays, which have negatively impacted their promotions. The shortage of doctors in service has also caused difficulties for the public. This special HR cell, headed by Anil V. and Vineeth V.R., will be responsible for resolving seniority and promotion matters for doctors in specialist, general, and administrative cadres by December.
The cell will collaborate with various sections of the Health department to ensure timely promotions for doctors.
