Punjab to Train Medical Officers amid Psychiatrists Shortage at OOAT Clinics
In response to a severe shortage of psychiatrists across Punjab, the state health department has announced a major policy shift- Medical Officers (MOs) in charge of Outpatient Opioid Assisted Treatment (OOAT) clinics will now be trained to take on key responsibilities traditionally handled by psychiatrists. This strategic move aims to ensure the smooth functioning of the state’s OOAT clinics, which play a crucial role in addressing opioid addiction.
