Nagar Kurnool: After a report in The Hans India on Thursday, it was brought to light that the staff at the Postpartum (PP) Unit of the District General Hospital in Nagar Kurnool were not following their work schedules. This led higher authorities to take action, ordering an inquiry and issuing memos to three staff members who were on duty at that time.
Dr. Santosh Abhiram, the Medical Officer of the PP Unit, confirmed that the memos were given to staff who had arrived an hour and a half late on Wednesday morning. He assured that steps have been taken to make sure such issues do not happen again in the future.
Dr. Abhiram also explained that there has been a staff shortage in the PP Unit due to recent transfers. He plans to inform higher authorities about the problem to find a solution. However, he clarified that the vaccination process in the unit is running smoothly and encouraged parents to ensure their children receive their vaccinations on time. He further mentioned that the staff who were late on Wednesday have since been arriving on time.
