To motivate its staffers and add a splash of healthy competition, civic-run KEM Hospital has started a new initiative—star of the month, wherein one member each from nursing, security, labour and administrative departments will be honoured. In addition, the hospital will also start organising seminars for grade 4 employees with an aim to promote good relations with patients and their kin, as well as good work ethics.

Saying that every staffer has an important role to play in the running of the hospital, an official said there are staffers who work efficiently but go unrecognised, and the initiative will appreciate their efforts. As part of it, photos of the selected stars are also displayed on a notice board.
