Kerala Government Medical Officers’ Association (KGMOA), has protested against the inordinate delay in settling the service matters of Government doctors, including the appointment of the Director of Health Services as well as the filling of various vacancies in State Health Services.
In a statement here, KGMOA pointed out that the only category of Government servants, whose time-bound promotion has not been implemented, is that of Government doctors, because of which several posts have been lying vacant. Since the past one year, the posts of the DHS, Chief Consultant (HG) as well as some 170-odd posts including that of Assistant Surgeons have been lying vacant all across districts .
