Shivamogga, Apr 24: Health Minister U T Khader regretted that the state government's ambitious Jyothi Sanjeevini' scheme that provides cashless treatment to government staff has not been fully utilised by many departments.
He told reporters on Saturday that only 56% of the state's employees had registered for the scheme so far after the government issued a second circular to raise the enrolment from the earlier 25%. Khader asked the departments to ensure their employees benefit from the scheme.
Each employee has to upload his/her KIGD number to the Human Resources Management System (HRMS) through the department concerned. For more details, they must contact 8884004789,he said.
Khader said the government would fill 983 vacant posts, including those of doctors in the health department and in various hospitals by June.
The recruitment process that would be initiated now will take into account posts that would go vacant after retirement. He said contract doctors would be regularised after three years of service.
He also said special programmes had been planned in drought-hit areas to create awareness among people on health. The government would not hesitate to initiate action against fake doctors.
