Govt to recruit more doctors: Health Minister

Health Minister Arti Singh Rao has said that the state government was fully committed to addressing the shortage of doctors. Special focus was being given on recruiting doctors and the recruitment process was being carried out in a systematic manner, she stated.

Arti stated this while addressing a gathering at Kheri and Nawdi villages of the Ateli Assembly constituency on Saturday.

“Providing quality health services to every resident is a top priority for the government. To achieve this goal, the Health Department is continuously recruiting new doctors to strengthen healthcare services in both rural and urban areas. The government is ensuring that the recruitment is transparent and swift so that qualified doctors can start serving the public as soon as possible,” said the minister.

She further said under the recommendations of the 15th Finance Commission, new buildings for sub-health centres would be constructed at Tigra, Bajad, Bihali, and Mohalda villages under Ateli block.

“These sub-health centres will help improve primary healthcare services in rural areas. Local residents will benefit from basic check-ups, vaccination, pregnancy-related care, and treatment for common diseases right near their homes, reducing the need to travel long distances to big hospitals or main health centres,” the minister claimed.

Arti also interacted with villagers and listened to their problems. She announced an amount of Rs 10 lakh for the panchayat of Kheri village for development works. The minister also planted a sapling at Kheri village under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign, promoting the message of environmental protection.
