Established
24 March 2015
The Service Doctors and Post Graduates Association (SDPGA) was founded on 24 March 2015 by government doctors across Tamil Nadu who recognized the need for an independent, democratic, and cadre-balanced organization dedicated to their rights and welfare.
SDPGA represents medical professionals across all three vital government directorates: the Directorate of Public Health (DPH), the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services (DMS), and the Directorate of Medical Education (DME). The association stands as both an advocate for healthcare staff and a responsible partner in advancing Tamil Nadu's pioneering public health system.
