Advertisement
Madras: The Medical Services Recruitment Board (MRSB) set by the state government for medical recruitments will be appointing 1,637 doctors within government run hospitals across the state soon.
The notification for the same has been issued under the categories 414 Assistant Surgeons (speciality) and 1,223 Assistant Surgeons (general) on October 20 and November 10 respectively, reports The Hindu.
The state government informed the Madras High court on its decision concerning the appointment through MSRB, as the court had earlier directed the state to provide information on why many posts of doctors were lying vacant in government hospitals. This came up during the hearing of a public interest litigation petition (PIL) filed alleging severe shortfall of medical practitioners (doctors) in the government run institutions. The petition was filed in Virudhunagar district.
The judges also asked for information on availability of haemodialysis machines in government hospitals.
A special government pleader, M Govindan explained before the court that MSRB was constituted by the government on January 2, 2012 for speedy medical recruitments, while at that point of time, there were more than 250 categories of posts with a sanctioned strength of approximately 54,000 personnel under the control of Health and Family Welfare Department.
