Calling for greater transparency, discipline and accountability, Dr. Jagadesh instructed departmental heads to establish measurable performance indicators, prepare time-bound action plans and periodically assess their implementation.
He said the SVIMS administration would extend the necessary support to departments to improve healthcare delivery, medical training and research.
