Easing Nursing Services

The Labour  Ministry's announcement to train 268 GNMs in India by 2013 should come as a good news for the  health sector and the nursing fraternity. This should have come long before we planned to build these large state-of the-art hospitals like JDW or MRRH which are  now fully  functional but with a large shortage of nursing staff.

With this announcement, I guess atleast the shortage can be reduced by about 50 percent in few years time.

Mongar Hospital has acute shortage of  nursing staff in most of the wards including the ICU. NICU and Cabins could not be started solely because of the nursing shortage.

  1. yes funny indeed..now check the MOH website where there is vacancy only for 6o something nurses in the entire country...and we understand that there are only 50 nurses who have passed out from RIHS!

    JDW has requested for over hundred nurses and I believe MRRH can function smoothly if we have atleast another 50 nurses....
