Thanks CMji for your concern and love for the Odisha people
What we say it is a world record or it is a historical decision to appoint 1038 doctors. Many many thanks to our Honourable CHIEF MINISTER.
It is very good step but it should be seen that rural health service to be improved and patients not to carried in cot
. Doctors should be posted closed to poor people.
Thank you CM sir.
I am from Karnataka, but your this act towards state’s health section should be an eye opener to CM’s of other states.
There are 1000’s of Doctors available for selection and deployment in India but no one cares for Citizens health care. Spending money on erecting statues have become more important than looking after the needy.
Thank you once again sir.
