Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena has approved the promotion of doctors working in government hospitals in Delhi. A total of 263 senior medical officers have been approved for promotion to Chief Medical Officers. This is in addition to the previous promotion of 139 doctors employed by Delhi government institutions.
Since taking office, Saxena has been advocating for better service conditions and amenities for medical professionals in government hospitals. He is committed to ensuring their advancement as quickly as possible.
The promotion of the 139 doctors was initially supposed to happen in 2020-21. However, due to the Covid outbreak and the subsequent lockdown, government work was disrupted and slowed down. But as soon as the situation stabilized, Saxena swiftly processed their promotion, considering their dedication and service during the pandemic.
