It was assured that appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken up against those doctors whenever there are evidences of criminal negligence.
With regard to the private practice by doctors, it was informed that appropriate actions had been taken up in some cases and some others warned in person.

others.
The suggestion of the JAC members on the installation of the CCTV and biometric attendance system was taken.

The RIMS authority welcomes such positive suggestions from the members of the public for the improvement of the healthcare services.
