Madhya Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla is spearheading efforts to fortify the state’s health framework through accelerated hiring of physicians and support staff. In a pivotal departmental review, he highlighted how medical officer and paramedic availability directly impacts service excellence.
Directives flew thick and fast: rigorous tracking of recruitments via PSC and selection bodies, expedited formalities, and top priority for ANM vacancies. Shukla advocated a thorough evaluation of specialist recruitment frameworks to launch hires without delay, vital for upgrading community health centers as primary referral hubs.
This strategic upgrade promises fortified mother-and-child health programs, driving down mortality figures. Nursing faculty recruitment bottlenecks were dissected, leading to mandates for rule tweaks and prompt submissions to administrative authorities to enhance training quality.
Construction updates from Budhni, Mandla, Sagar, and Rewa medical colleges demanded swift completion of approval processes to avoid setbacks in expansion plans. Cancer treatment advancements in select colleges, including Rewa and Gwalior, were prioritized with infrastructure and gear timelines locked in.
To minimize inter-state patient transfers, local cancer care excellence is the vision. CM Day Care initiatives require immediate proposal finalization for cabinet clearance. Health center modernizations face no excuses on budgets or execution, ensuring public access to superior facilities.
Shukla turned to nascent medical colleges in Budhni, Chhatarpur, and Damoh, now in final infrastructure phases, stressing full readiness with essentials and recruits for seamless NMC-compliant launches next term.
