Approved by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, the new rules aim to improve service delivery across medical establishments.

The revised guidelines target two key categories of employees: junior and senior assistants, and senior medical officers of Additional Director of Medical Education (ADME) rank, including principals and hospital superintendents.

While existing rules allow transfer after five years at one station, the Health Ministry will now transfer administrative staff after just three years, responding to complaints of corruption, insubordination, and poor performance.
