The Tamil Nadu Health Department has issued strict guidelines for government doctors and nurses regarding punctuality. Speciality doctors must treat outpatients from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM. The department warned of disciplinary action against doctors who allow non-medical staff like sweepers or assistants to provide treatment or injections. Hospital Superintendents and RMOs have also been assigned specific reporting times. Patients can report unsatisfactory services via the 104 helpline. https://www.dinamani.com/tamilnadu/2026/Jun/02/action-against-government-doctors-and-nurses-who-report-to-work-late #creator program
