The staffing shortage at AIIMS hospital in Mangalagiri has been resolved thanks to the initiative taken by Union Minister Pemmasani Chandrasekhar. The Central government has issued orders approving 534 additional permanent positions for the 960-bed AIIMS facility.
The Union Health Ministry has granted approval to fill these positions under the Prime Minister’s Swasthya Suraksha Yojana scheme. The approved positions include 10 Associate Professors, 40 Assistant Professors, 100 Senior Residents, and 100 Junior Residents.
Additionally, the government has sanctioned 3 Deputy Nursing Superintendents, 10 Assistant Nursing Superintendents, and 100 Nursing Officers positions to strengthen the healthcare delivery system at the institute.
This big increase in staff is expected to make patient care and medical training better at the top hospital in Andhra Pradesh, helping to solve a major problem the hospital was facing.
