In order to overcome the shortage of human resource in healthcare facilities of the province especially of the far flung districts in minimum possible timer period, it has been decided in principle to hire doctors and other health professionals on adhoc and contract basis. It has also been decided to devolve the posting/transfer powers of health staff except the top management posts to the department level with the aim to bring in more efficiency in the management of the department.
This was decided in a meeting with the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan in the chair held here the other day regarding human resource interventions in health sector of the province. The meeting also decided to constitute a committee headed by Secretary Establishment to come up with feasible proposals to remove the complications involved in the posting transfer of health professionals and to make the same easier.
Provincial health Minister Taimur Saleem Jhagra, Chief Secretary Dr. Kazim Niaz, Secretary Establishment Mutahir Zeb, Secretary Law Masood Ahmad and other relevant authorities attended the meeting.
