A Government Resolution has been issued to amend service entry norms, creating a promotional pathway for Auxiliary Nurse Midwives to become Staff Nurses. This change is expected to bring relief to the health department workforce. Previously, service rules lacked a provision for direct promotion from Auxiliary Nurse Midwife to Staff Nurse positions.

The revised framework reserves 25 percent of positions for promotions, with 160 posts earmarked. This development follows consistent efforts by MLA Sanjay Kelkar.

Further details on the key structural revisions in service are available, outlining the impact of this decision on the workforce.
