Bhubaneswar: An acute requirement for healthcare professionals has risen in the state to look after the medical facilities in the wake of 70 deaths of children due to Japanese Encephalitis. The situation is worse in tribal dominated districts, while coastal areas are relieved in some ways. The basic requirement is of 6,315 doctors, which is overlooked by the government as only a number of 4,877 posts were sanctioned in the Odisha Medical Service cadre, by the end of September, out of which less than 4,000 are appointed as yet.
Out of these 4,877 sanctioned posts, 1,085 are lying vacant as the doctors who are selected are not ready to join or are on leave. Sources of the pioneer suggest that the numbers are going to increase to 1,500.
According to the statistics received by the daily, 567 faculty posts are vacant in the three Government-run medical colleges, 500 homeopathic and ayurvedic medical officers posts and 192 faculty posts in government-ayurvedic & homeopathic medical colleges.
