Secretary Health and Family Welfare Shalini Pandit issued orders with regards to this on Friday.
The notification mentioned that the medical officers (MOs) serving in Odisha with qualification of DNB board specialty as per para 37 (2) of the National Medical Commission Act-2019 would be given Rs 20,000 incentive per month apart from the salary.
Similarly, the MOs having DNB super specialty qualification would be given monthly incentive of Rs 30,000 in addition to the salary.
