Bengaluru witnessed an impassioned plea from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to newly appointed health workers: serve humanity without the shackles of caste or creed. This came post the distribution of over 1,000 appointment letters at the Abhaya Hastha event by the Health and Family Welfare and Food Safety departments.
The CM beamed with pride over the hires, framing healthcare as a vocation for salvation and prophylaxis, far removed from routine work. His administration’s second stint has seen resolute steps to populate vacant roles, ironing out recruitment snags.
Prioritizing citizen-centric domains – health, schools, and security – the state eyes filling 25 lakh-plus gaps progressively.
To foster fairness, counseling drives recruitments and shifts, accounting for 5,700 positions. Siddaramaiah alerted against corrupt brokers in postings, vowing to eradicate graft.
Support staff are indispensable in health ecosystems, he reminded, calling for bias-free duty. ‘No caste query during blood needs; biases revive post-recovery,’ he highlighted.
With a focus on averting ailments, myriad schemes are fortifying Karnataka’s health apparatus for enduring resilience.
