Health Minister T. Harish Rao said he will take up surprise visits at government hospitals and district tours will be accompanied by checks at health facilities. Work performance of every healthcare staff — from ASHAs to hospital superintendents — will be reviewed.
The Minister, who held a video conference with district collectors, and district medical and health officers on Saturday, said that postings and promotions will be based on work efficiency. Vaccination coverage, new medical college works, and other aspects were discussed at the meeting.
He directed the collectors to complete construction of the eight medical colleges by December, increase bed capacity of the hospitals attached to the colleges and to construct hostels for medical students.
