Yogi Adityanath govt to recruit 1000 contractual doctors

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday decided to recruit one thousand contractual doctors and also finalised their transfer policy.

The decision was taken during the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday.

"The cabinet has decided to employ 1,000 doctors including 500 specialists on a contract of one year. The contract might be extended for two more years depending on their performance," said the state Health Minister Sidharth Nath Singh calling the decision revolutionary.

Sidharth Nath admitted that the transfer policy for doctors was also okayed to A, B, C and D categories.

The A category includes districts like Lucknow, Allahabad, Varanasi and others. In the remaining categories, smaller cities come.
