Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Wednesday approved the long-pending promotions of 295 chief medical officers working in Delhi government hospitals. He said that these promotions have been implemented under the Delhi Health Services (Allopathy) Rules, 2009. The Lieutenant Governor has approved the promotion of 295 Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) to ensure timely promotions, career progression and better working conditions.
However, according to a statement, the promotion of the Medical Superintendent of Maharishi Valmiki Hospital has been put on hold due to a sexual harassment case filed against him by a female doctor. Out of 302 CMOs considered for promotion, 295 were found eligible. One case has been put on hold pending the outcome of the vigilance inquiry, while six others have been deemed ineligible for promotion.
It said the Lieutenant Governor’s office emphasized that the move was part of Saxena’s continued efforts to ensure timely promotions, career development and better service conditions for government employees.
