Punjab Struggles to Retain Doctors Despite Fresh Recruitment Drive

Punjab Struggles to Retain Doctors Despite Fresh Recruitment Drive

Punjab needs more doctors to help people in hospitals, but it's hard to get them to stay.

Even though they're trying to hire more doctors, not many want to come work in Punjab.

One big reason is that the pay isn't as good as in some other places.

Plus, doctors sometimes have to do extra jobs, like security or post-mortem duties, which can make them unhappy.

The government is trying to fix this by offering better chances for doctors to move up in their careers and make the jobs more attractive, but experts are worried if these changes will be enough to fill all the positions.
