To strengthen the state’s battle against the Covid pandemic, the Punjab government has decided to convert the vacant promotion quota posts of super specialty doctors in the Government Medical Colleges of Patiala and Amritsar to direct recruitment quota.
The decision was taken on Monday by the Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, which also approved filling up of such 80 posts of super specialty doctors, including those already lying vacant in different departments of these colleges, through the Dr. KK Talwar Committee, by taking out all these posts from the purview of Punjab Public Service Commission.
Besides effectively combating the possible third wave of Covid-19 pandemic in the state, the move will extend more super specialty health care facilities to the people.
