The appointment of two senior doctors in the post of Chief District Medical Office (CDMO) for Gajam has raised eyebrows here, especially when there is acute shortage of doctors in various medicals of the district.
Additional Director (Health) DR Manoj Kumar Behera has been appointed as CDMO of the District Headquarters Hospital, Ganjam. But Joint Director (Health) Dr Saroj Kumar Nayak, who is in the CDMO cadre, has also been appointed as CDMO. Sources said such anomalies have also been found in Bhadrak and Nabarangpur district as well. The intellectuals here have decried the appointment of two doctors in a single post.
