The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Pro-Left staff unions in Kozhikode have demanded urgent steps to fill vacancies in the Health department.
- Posts such as field worker, junior health inspector, health supervisor, public health nurse, malaria officer and biologist in the district vector control unit have been vacant since May after staff retirements.
- Union leaders say distribution of medicines has gone haywire in government hospitals because posts such as pharmacist and store superintendent have not been filled.
- The unions claim no seniority list for promotion has been prepared, delaying the notification to the Kerala Public Service Commission for entry-cadre appointments and leaving job aspirants in the lurch.
- The unions say the vacancies and random staff transfers are affecting government hospital functioning, a matter that bears directly on public healthcare delivery in the district.
What to watch next
- Whether the Health department prepares the seniority list and promotes eligible staff to the vacant posts.
- Whether the Kerala Public Service Commission is notified for filling entry-cadre posts.
- Whether authorities respond to the unions' allegations of guideline-violating staff transfers.
