As Jammu and Kashmir government approved a ‘Policy Document’ for setting up of two medi-cities in the erstwhile state, this will enhance the strength of medical officers to pave way for fresh recruitment of nearly 800 doctors
The medi-cities will include Medical Colleges and Hospitals, Super Specialty Centres of Excellence, Nursing, Pharmaceuticals, Hospital Management and Dental Colleges, Ayurvedic Colleges and Hospitals and Medical Education Hubs, AYUSH Centers, Research Centers with residential areas, staff quarters and guest houses.
The recruitment of Medical Officers will also help to provide manpower in the sister organizations where the Medical officers required to be posted on deputation from the Health & Medical Education Department. This will also provide opportunities to the Medical Officers to acquire such skills/training which would help them to further their career and in the process augment the health care system across J&K. This will also help in the smooth functioning of the newly established Government Medical Colleges.
