Srinagar: President Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK), Dr Suhail Naik today on Thursday in a statement issued here demanded  regularization of all the National Health Mission (NHM) employees in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, who have completed seven or more years of service as contractual staff.

“The authorities must form a committee of officers comprising of Director General Indian Society of Medicine (ISM), Director Health Services, Director Family Welfare, representatives from Planning, Finance, etc who shall examine the issue in detail and put up a proposal on war footing basis in front of state government, so that a policy for their regularization can be framed”, Dr Naik added.
