Chandigarh, June 7 - The Haryana government has taken another revolutionary step towards making the health services of the state more robust and simple. Now specialist doctors will be available under the on-call system in government hospitals of the state, so that serious patients can get treatment on time.
Giving information, Health and Family Welfare Minister Aarti Singh Rao said that now the no-node formula is being implemented for doctors in government hospitals under the PPP (Public Private Partnership) model. With this initiative, specialist medical services will be available in rural and remote areas as well. Specialist doctors will see to the on-call merges in hospitals.
Specialist doctors will be available for services like anesthesia, surgery and radiology, gynecology and pediatrics. He said that this service is being made available in five districts of Hisar, Jind, Mewat, Sonipat and Kaithal in the initial phase.
