During its recent meeting, the Rogi Kalyan Samiti (RKS), which operates under India's National Health Mission, decided to explore hiring healthcare staff through the Society for Promotion of IT in Chandigarh (SPIC) to enhance transparency in the recruitment process. This comes in response to concerns raised by UT MP Manish Tewari regarding irregularities in the current hiring method via the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), where applicants have reportedly been charged fees. The decision to defer hiring was made in light of the need to explore capital projects that could be funded by RKS. The hospital is currently experiencing a significant patient footfall, with over 20,000 emergency visits monthly, underscoring the urgency for adequate staffing. Tewari emphasized the importance of providing immediate medical care to all residents of Chandigarh and expressed concerns about the rising issue of drug addiction. The next governing body meeting of RKS is set for June 10, 2026.
