MIMS Struggles to Fill Vacant Temporary Doctor Positions
Imagine a hospital that needs more doctors but can't find enough people to fill the jobs.
That's what's happening at MIMS.
They put out ads for doctors to work temporarily, but not many people applied.
This is because the pay might not be very high, and some doctors don't want to move to Mandya.
Because there aren't enough doctors, the doctors who are working have to see a lot more patients, which makes it hard for them to give the best care.
The hospital is trying to figure out how to fix this, but it might be difficult unless they can offer better pay or make it easier for doctors to live there.
MIMS faces staffing challenges due to few applicants for temporary doctor positions.
The hospital received limited responses from departments like OBG, general surgery, and orthopaedics.
Low remuneration and location preferences are potential reasons for lack of interest.
Staff shortages negatively impact patient care and increase pressure on existing doctors.
Hospital authorities are exploring solutions, but filling vacancies remains a challenge.
