Shillong, Dec 8: Meghalaya Health Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh on Friday said that the gap between availability and requirement of specialist physicians continues to be a challenge for the State government.
She informed that that while recruitment for specialists continues, the gap remains. She said the State government has embarked upon certified short-term programmes for doctors that will enable them to return to the hospital to give the intervention. She said there is a need for anesthetists, surgeons, gynaecologists etc., and there is a need to re-look at incentivising doctors to come and work in Meghalaya.
