In a bid to provide better health facilities to the people living in rural areas of the state, Uttar Pradesh government will soon recruit 5,000 medicos.
"The government will soon recruit 5,000 doctors through Public Service Commission," Health Minister Anant Kumar Mishra said on Monday during a day-long training programme of newly appointed medical officer held here.
For the convenience of the newly appointed medical officers they are being appointed in their home district, the minister added. "The main objective of training programme is to strengthen health services in the state and ensure that poor people who cannot afford treatment get benefitted," he said.
"The government will extend all possible support but if any laxity is observed in providing health services to poor stern action will be taken against the guilty," he warned.
