MP Govt to fill doctor vacancies by October
Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh government announced that efforts are underway to fill doctor vacancies across the state by October and enhance healthcare services. This was revealed during the state assembly on Monday.
The government was responding to concerns raised by BJP MLA Riti Pathak about the shortage of doctors in Sidhi district.
According to the PTI report, Pathak stated that the Sidhi district hospital had just 12 expert doctors instead of 37, and the posts of 6 medical officers were lying vacant.
She further questioned the government about measures taken to improve health service in the district, home to a large chunk of tribal population.
