Medicos have called for the decentralisation of COVID-19 treatment
Health Minister Veena George is scheduled to hold talks with postgraduate resident doctors on Tuesday to discuss their long-pending demands. The issues being raised by them such as the decentralisation of COVID-19 treatment, if left unresolved, could cripple the functioning of government medical college hospitals in the long run, said sources. The Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, one of the major healthcare institutions in the Malabar region, is a case in point. Some of the doctors there said on Monday that though the number of non-COVID patients was considerable every day, the focus still was on COVID-19 treatment and most of the human resources was still being allocated for the purpose.More Related News
