SDSJK alleges 371 Health institutes across J&K lack dental care services 5/9/2015 11:34:51 PM Early Times Report Jammu, May 9: SDSJK castigates the government for showing step motherly treatment towards the upgradation of Dental Fraternity and promotion of Quality Oral Health Care to the patients. The state of Oral Health Services prevailing in state is under shambles which has led to various health hazards on which Govt. seems to be in deep sleep. In a statement issued here, it is worth astonishing that the government recently opened 371 New Type Primary Health Centres vide Govt. order no 585-HME of 214 dated 17/10/2014 with a creation of 371 Medical Officers but unfortunately no Dental Surgeon post has been created in these health centres. SDSJK appealed government and especially Minister for Health and Medical Education Choudhary Lal Singh and MoS Health Madam Asiya Naqash to kindly intervene in the matter for immediate creation of 371 dental surgeon posts and simultaneously filling of existing vacant Dental Surgeon posts so that quality oral health is being provided to the needy patients. SDSJK also appealed the Govt. that special consideration/quota for dental surgeon posts should be kept under recently framed New Recruitment Policy. SDSJK stated, it is worth condemning that only 500 plus sanctioned posts of dental surgeons are there for a huge 1.25 crore population of J&K which simply flaws the WHO Oral Health guidelines. As per the official survey held by a national organisation, every second Indian suffers from an oral problem.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
