Kathmandu, Sept 16: The problem in the management of health sector employees will now be solved through their adjustment at the federal, province and local levels. This has been made possible after an eight-point proposal for the management of health workers was approved by the Council of Ministers.
The proposal was presented by
Minister for Health and Population Pradeep Paudel and was endorsed by the
Cabinet meeting on Sunday.
The Ministry had prepared an eight-point proposal to make health personnel management more effective in accordance with Section 28 of the Employees Adjustment Act 2075 BS. The Council of Ministers passed the proposal, paving the way for the adjustment of health workers working at the three levels.
According, the adjustment of the
health workers who are on suspension, those who have been adjusted but without
position, and those who have been adjusted in a number that is higher than the
posts will now be carried out within the current fiscal year to the vacant
posts of the respective provinces or local levels.
These decisions are expected to
improve the health sector as well as bring more clarity in the management of
health workers.
Physicians who have previously been adjusted
as medical officers at the local level and currently have acquired
specialization (MD/MS) will be assigned by the Ministry to work in the province
or under the Ministry. (RSS)
