Makeup, “funky hairstyles”, and long nails are out for medical and other staff at Haryana government hospitals, and so are T-shirts, denims and skirts, as the state is going to implement a dress code for healthcare professionals. Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij said on Friday that the dress code being prepared by the state government is in its final stages.
The dress code must be adhered to by the on-duty staff 24 hours a day, including on weekends, evenings and night shifts, he said, asserting the erring employees will be marked absent for the day. The minister said a hospital requires its employees to follow certain conduct, and a dress code is an essential component which gives the organisation a “professional touch”.

“Sweatshirts and shorts are not permitted. Slacks, dresses, skirts and palazzos shall not be permitted too. T-shirts, stretch T-shirts, stretch pants, fitting pants, leather pants, tank tops, see-through dresses or crop tops, sneakers, slippers etc will not be permitted. Similarly, footwear must be black, clean, comfortable and free from funky designs,” said the BJP leader, adding that the purpose of the dress code policy is to maintain discipline, uniformity and equality among the staff.
