Ward attendants
On the occasion, the minister also handed over appointment letters to 12 ward attendants. AAP government is committed to provide employment to Punjabis, the minister said.
Punjab government has earlier too made attempts to hire specialist doctors but has not succeeded. Not only did they fail to fill all vacant posts, many of those who joined, left soon after some time. Low remuneration and lack of benefits as compared to other states are said to be keeping the medical professionals away from joining government service.
