The State Government has approved creation of 2,000 more posts of Leave Training Reserve Medical Officer (LTRMO) for peripheral health institutions.
“I am directed to convey the sanction of Governor for creation of 2000 posts of LTRMO in the rank of Group A (Junior Branch) of Odisha Medical and Health Services (OMHS) Cadre in the scale of pay of level-12 of Pay Matrix of ORSP Rules, 2017 for the peripheral health institutions of the state,” Health Secretary Pramod Kumar Meherda has written in a letter to the Principal Accountant General, Odisha.
The posts would be filled up through the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The doctors would be posted at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs) and Sub-Divisional Hospitals.
Health Minister Nabakishore Das said the appointment of LTRMOs would help bridge the gap between the number of recruited doctors and those actually present.
