Transfers would normally be made once in five years and if both the husbands and wife are in Delhi Health service, attempts will be made to post them at the same or nearby place.
"In order to ensure manpower development and to equip them to handle senior assignments, all the doctors will be suitably rotated among various assignments both clinical and administrative," as per the guidelines for transfer and posting of Specialists (non-teaching) and General duty medical officers (GDMOs) in Delhi Health Services (Allopathy) formed by the Health department.
Intitial appointment of medical officers would be at Primary health care centres and GDMOs with post graduate qualifications will be appointed initially in peripheral hospitals having upto 250 beds and thereafter in non-perperipheral hospitals.
However, postings at peripheral hospitals should not be more than three years at a stretch.
To facilitate proper and professional selection for senior positions in the Health Department, a screening committee comprising of Special Secretary (medical), Dean (MAMC), DHS along with 2 -3 other members nominated by Health Secretary will be constituted to suggest names for the post of Director and Medical Superitendents of hospitals.
