What's the condition of staff working there with the doctors in the periphery.Are they adequately trained to be a helping hand?
In Pak there is severe shortage of well trained nursing staff when we move out from the major cities.
Once i visited a DHQ in Punjab region, there were three doctors 1 pgt, two house officers and no staff at emergency. The Xray dept was looking haunted.....lol.
Thats the funny part. Nursing in India is dominated by nurses from Kerala. They are highly qualified, graduating after a 4 year course but are paid a pittance especially in Pvt hospitals...sometimes as low as Rs 3000 per month. Nurses of majority of Pvt hospitals in Kerala are on strike demanding higher wages. They already striked in Madras, Delhi, Calcutta & Mumbai.
