News from PIB

The Javed A Chaudhary Committee which was set up to look into the reasons for attrition in Government Health Organisations/Institutions and suggest measurers to arrest the outflow of doctors, has stated that though there is an element of attrition in CHS, it is not calamitous. The doctors of Central Health Service (CHS) resign on personal reasons. Statement containing the number of doctors who resigned on personal reason during last three years is at Annexure.

Following steps have been taken to improve the service conditions of CHS doctors:-

(a) Age of superannuation of Teaching Specialist of CHS has been enhanced to 65 years.

b) Age of superannuation of Non-Teaching and Public Health Specialist has been enhanced to 62 years.

(c) The Dynamic Assured Career Progression Scheme has been extended up Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) posts under which promotion of CHS Officers up to SAG level are made on time bound basis and without linkage to vacancies.
