Health Minister Arti Singh Rao ordres deployment of 8 Gynaecologists at Narnaul Civil Hospital

Narnaul: In a move to address the shortage of gynaecologists at Civil Hospital in Narnaul, Health Minister Arti Singh Rao has directed the Director General (Health Services) to deploy an additional eight women doctors on a rotating basis, with each serving for 14 days.

The directive comes after residents raised concerns about the unavailability of qualified doctors in the region. Women patients in the region were facing severe challenges due to the absence of a gynaecologist at the Civil Hospital in Narnaul, which raised concerns about women's health in the area. There were no specialist gynaecologists in the region, so patients had to seek treatment at private hospitals.

The move was aimed to ensure that the hospital could meet the growing demand for gynaecological services and provide better healthcare accessibility to patients.

Medical dialogues team had earlier reported that amid the shortage of gynaecology specialists at Karnal Civil Hospital, the health department has added six new Lady Medical Officers (LMOs) ignoring the demand for specialists required at the hospital. The number has increased to eight in total after six LMOs have been appointed at the hospital with existing two at the moment. However, the hospital is currently reeling under an acute shortage of gynaecology specialists for the past several months.
