The state government has directly recruited specialist doctors for the first time, which earlier used to take place in the form of promotions to class one specialist category, reports the TOI.
Medical Teachers Association president Dr Madhav Hasani said, "The state government in a policy decision decided to recruit specialist doctors directly against 25% the vacant post." Issues like less salary, lack of timely promotion and increment are preventing the doctors from getting into the posts of super specialists in the state.
