The Punjab Cabinet on 14th October 2020 has given its nod to grant three months Extension/Re-employment to Doctors and Medical Specialists with effect from 1st October, 2020 to 31st December, 2020, in view of the Covid crisis.
The Cabinet also approved amendments to the Punjab Health and Family Welfare Technical (Group-C) Service Rules, 2016, for reduction in the prescribed promotional quota, from 25% percent to 10% for the post of Staff Nurse, and in the sanctioned permanent 4216 posts of Staff Nurse to 3577.
Though recruitment of doctors and para-medical staff is underway, this would take time and hence the state government has decided to continue availing the services of existing doctors/specialists for the time being.
