Chandigarh: 323 nursing staff posts created at GMCH-32
Panchkula: Bringing good news to the nurses of Chandigarh, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India has approved the creation of 323 posts of nursing officers for Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32.
The long-standing demand of GMCH to have more posts for nurses has finally received a positive response since the demand was pending for 17 years. Of the 323 posts, 316 posts are of staff nurses, six nursing sisters and one matron.
The proposal was first sent in 2005 by the GMCH seeking the creation of 656 nursing posts from the Ministry of Health and family welfare. However, the proposal was sent without following the guidelines of the Indian Nursing Council.
