Tamil Nadu appoints doctors, nurses for new hospitals: Health Minister Ma Subramanian
Ma Subramanian
Chennai: Health Minister Ma Subramanian has recently confirmed that the state government has appointed doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers for new hospitals to ensure the availability of the necessary workload.
However, due to financial and legal restrictions, the government is recruiting doctors on a contractual basis for now.
The state made appointments of 500 new doctors, one each for 500 urban primary health care centres opened across the state. “We are recruiting 30 associate professors and 130 assistant professors for the upcoming multi-speciality hospital in Guindy. A government order has been issued for appointing these doctors and nearly 700 other healthcare workers,” he said. He further stated in Times of India, “A young medical student doing his residency died of a heart attack. This is not rare and should not be quoted as an example to show that doctors’ life is stressful."
