Shortage of doctors plagues Cuttack’s SCB Medical College
At a time when the state government is having a watch on the medical system of the state and asking the patient to need not to worry for the facilities, a closer look at the functioning of the SCB medical college Cuttack are not encouraging.
As per the latest report and a close view over the healthcare delivery services it shows that, of the total 38 departments in SCB MCH, 26 are clinical, the rest 12 are non-clinical.
It is also added that against the sanctioned strength of 63, the hospital at present has 50 professors, while the rest 13 are lying vacant. Similarly of the total 106 sanctioned posts of associate professors, as many as 71 are working presently, and the rest 35 are lying vacant.
The situation become more terrific and create more problems as the most important department of the hospital is medicine, where only one associate professor is presently working against the total sanction strength of eight.
