Noida: Seeing the lack of trained labor, Secretary of Uttar Pradesh Rajendra Kumar Tiwari on Friday said that the Ministry of Health has allowed all districts to hire doctors on contracts to prepare the possibility of possible third covid infections.
Noida has prepared at least seven trigger wards in different companies, but only one pediatrician each posted under CMO and CMS.
Tiwari said, “Labor shortage is highlighted throughout the state.
We have now asked all districts to hire doctors on contracts wherever needed.
Some doctors have also been appointed.” Officials said that for all government health centers, including CHCS, one The doctor must call while at least three other must be posted in the center.
So, four pediatrics are required under CMO.
In a government hospital, two doctors needed in each shift, making a total of six needed.
Therefore, the district needs 10 pediatric people to handle all government facilities adequately.
Because there are no specialist available doctors, the districts have trained regular medical officers and nurses in child care.
The source added that while the position has been advertised, there is almost no application for pediatric experts because the remuneration offered is low.
