Kathmandu, Feb 16 : Nepal Public Health Association has demanded the federal government to take responsibility for transfer and promotion of all health service employees above officer level. 
The Ministry of Health and Population has recently delegated authority to the Office of Province Chief Minister to transfer and promote employees up to 10th level. 
Arrangement has to be made in a way that the transfer and promotion of heath service employees (who entered into service through Public Service Commission’s process) above officer level should come under the ambit of federal government, reads a statement issued by Maheswor Shrestha, general secretary of Association. 
The statement further noted that there was no uniformed career opportunities for health service employees in the adjustment process; the opportunity for transfer and promotion was narrowed and such move would not boost confidence of employees. —
