Names of deceased and retired doctors included in transfer list of health dept

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The names of doctors, including the deceased and retired, have been allegedly included in the transfer list of the health department. Following this, the errors in the draft list have to be corrected and the final list will be released at the end of this month.

There were complaints regarding the first list such as two people being appointed to one post and the widowed doctors being transferred before the completion of the current period. It was also alleged that this was done to ensure appointments for favourites and those with political influence. More than 6,000 doctors from the primary health centre to the district and general hospitals are to be transferred.
