Kohima: The Nagaland Medical Students’ Association (NMSA) has voiced its concerns over the omission of medical officer positions in the recent advertisement issued by the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC).
The body claimed that this omission, highlighted in Advertisement No. NPSC-1/04 (VOL-I) dt.28.03.2024 for the Combined Technical Services Examination 2024, comes amid a growing need for healthcare professionals in the state.
NMSA has expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of recruitment for medical officer positions, citing a critical shortage of doctors in the state – with only one doctor for every 4,056 people, significantly below the WHO-recommended ratio. Currently, over 183 sanctioned medical officer posts are occupied by state contract doctors and contractual COVID doctors appointees as per NMSA.
