In a decision that is going to provide fillip to the Capital’s Public Healthcare Infrastructure, apart from providing quality employment to professional and trained human resource, the Lt. Governor Shri V.K. Saxena has approved 918 posts under various categories for the Indira Gandhi Hospital at Dwarka and approved the conversion of 76 temporary posts in Dr. B.S. Ambedkar Medical College into permanent posts.

It may be recalled that the said hospital, construction of which had been completed earlier, had been facing the issue of non-staffing due to various reasons and the decision today would lead to putting an end to adhocism in appointments on regular government posts/positions.  

It may be noted, that in review meetings with the officials ever since he took over , the Lt. Governor has been consistently raising the issue of filling all vacant government posts/positions in a time bound manner and has been stressing on creation of sustainable employment and job opportunities in the National Capital.
