A review meeting on assets and financial matters of the Health Department was held on Friday at the Collectorate auditorium under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner Dr. Tarachand. During the meeting, the Deputy Commissioner issued strict directions for taking legal action against quack doctors and those running hospitals without valid authorization in the district.

The Civil Surgeon was specifically directed to ensure strict legal action against unqualified practitioners and unauthorized hospital operators.

The Deputy Commissioner also directed all Medical Officers-in-Charge to ensure timely expenditure of allocated funds under the prescribed heads. Emphasis was laid on encouraging people to seek treatment at Community Health Centers to strengthen public healthcare services at the grassroots level.

The meeting was attended by Civil Surgeon Dr. Raju Kachhap, all Medical Officers-in-Charge, and other concerned officials.
