The Health and Family Welfare Department of
the Government of Himachal Pradesh has issued a Notification/Office Order, assigning the additional charge of MOH (Medical Officer of Health) at the Office of Chief Medical Officer (CMO) in Kangra, Dharamshala, to Dr.
Rajesh Kumar Sood, District Program Officer at the same location.
This order comes in continuation to the Department’s previous Notification No. Health-A-B(6)-1/2013-L dated 16-07-2022.
Dr. Rajesh Kumar Sood is tasked with taking over the responsibilities of MOH in addition to his current duties.
It is worth mentioning here that Dr. Vikram Katoch had been promoted to the post of BMO Shahpur with the additional charge of MOH CMO office in Kangra at Dharamshala, where he served for approximately 4 years. However, managing both roles impacted his effectiveness in Shahpur. With the recent change, he can now focus entirely on Shahpur, leading to improved productivity and better outcomes in his full capacity.
This development is expected to enhance healthcare services in Shahpur and ensure Dr. Katoch’s undivided attention to the well-being of the community.
This change is made in the interest of the public. Simultaneously, Dr. Vikram Katoch, who previously held the additional charge of MOH, BMO (Block Medical Officer) Shahpur in Kangra District, has been relieved of this responsibility with immediate effect.
The Secretary (Health & Family Welfare) to the Government of Himachal Pradesh, M. Sudha Devi, issued the order, directing Dr. Rajesh Kumar Sood to assume the charge of MOH at CMO Kangra, Dharamshala, without delay. Furthermore, Dr. Sood is required to submit a charge assumption report to the Health and Family Welfare Department promptly.
The notification was issued on 03-07-2023 and has been forwarded to various concerned authorities, including the Director of Health Services, Himachal Pradesh, the Chief Medical Officer in Kangra at Dharamshala, the relevant Block Medical Officer, and other officers for immediate compliance.
This decision is expected to ensure the smooth functioning of health services in the region and bolster the efforts of the Health and Family Welfare Department in the state.
