(e): Following steps have been taken by the Government to attract GDMOs and non-teaching
Specialists to join CGHS:-

(i) In order to encourage more doctors to join CGHS, posting of Doctors is normally being
made after due consideration of their residence/domicile.
(ii) Promotion upto the SAG level has been made time bound under the Dynamic Assured
Career Scheme.
(iii) This Ministry has started sending separate requisitions to UPSC exclusively for stations
outside Delhi in order to ensure that the candidates recommended by UPSC join at places
outside Delhi in non-teaching sub-cadre.
(iv) The retirement age of CHS Doctors has recently been enhanced upto 65 years.
(v) To avoid shortage of paramedical staff in CGHS due to cumbersome recruitment process
of posts falling under direct recruitment of para-medical staff, powers have been
delegated to the Additional Director of concerned CGHS cities for recruitment of para-
medical staff.
