Simdega district election soon
JHSA state president Dr PP Shah said that the body of all 24 districts would be reorganized soon. “We have conducted elections for Kunthi and Dhanbad so far and now the poll of Simdega body will be held soon,” he said.
President Shah and secretary Dr Thakur Mritunjay Kumar Singh said that since the mission of JHSA is to solve problems of medical officers and improve health services, all members have been asked to work in coordination with their respective civil surgeon to provide service to the last person in society.
No compromise on indiscipline
Dr Shah said that the association will not compromise with the indiscipline of any member of the association and will not support a lethargic approach to duty. “But at the same time, it also would not tolerate misbehaviour with the doctor. In Mandu, a head clerk had misbehaved with a medical officer and we got him punished,” said Dr Shah.
He said that whatever incident is happening in Jamshedpur is in the mind of the JHSA state body and will take needful action at a proper time.
JHSA Dhanbad secretary Dr Jitesh Ranjan said that the first meeting of the newly elected body would be held soon to act on issues of medical officers on a priority basis.
