 He assured that any such genuine case brought to the notice of the department would be dealt on priority and with a compassionate view.

The Director Health further reiterated that the sole reason for these transfers is to strengthen the health services in selected 100 health institutions in the state and provide adequate specialists services in these health institutions.
