CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said here today that the State Government has decided to pay 100 percent salary to those Homeopathy doctors who proceed on study leave for pursuing PG courses and their study will be considered on duty. Earlier they were getting 40 percent of their salary during their study leave period. He said that the State Government had already been granting full salary to those allopathic doctors who were on study leave and undertaking PG courses and now the Government has decided to follow the similar lines for homeopathy doctors as well. He said that the State Government is committed to provide specialized medical services to the people within the State.

He said that this step will go a long way in fostering a more robust healthcare system in the State.
