SHILLONG: Health Minister Roshan Warjri has said her department will take up the issue of manpower shortage faced by the Police Hospital here.
The minister was referring to the statement made by S. Khonglah, medical superintendent of the hospital, that the facility was functioning with skeletal staff and that the need of the hour was to appoint a male and a female nurses.
