Bhubaneswar: Bringing good news to the government doctors wishing to pursue speciality training, the Orissa government has increased the study leave span of doctors from three years to six years.
This decision has been taken by the Government with an aim of encouraging specialised qualifications for doctors of government hospitals and medical colleges.
