Haryana’s public hospitals are experiencing a manpower crunch as doctors leave positions, leading to an increase in unfilled vacancies.
Haryana’s public healthcare system is grappling with a growing shortage of doctors, as several medical professionals have recently resigned from government hospitals. The exodus has left many positions unfilled, creating a manpower squeeze across the state’s public health facilities.
Health officials report that the number of vacant posts has risen sharply, putting additional strain on the remaining staff and potentially affecting patient care. Efforts to recruit new doctors have been hampered by limited resources and administrative delays.
The situation underscores the need for urgent measures to attract and retain medical professionals in Haryana’s public sector, ensuring that essential health services remain accessible to residents.
