Tripura govt to recruit 432 nurses: CM Manik Saha

Agartala, May 12 (UNI) Tripura government has initiated the process of recruitment of 432 nursing personnel to boost healthcare service in the state, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha announced on Monday while addressing the International Nurses Day celebration.
He said the state will soon appoint 332 permanent nursing staff. In addition, 100 more nurses would be engaged on a contractual basis.
“Nursing is a noble and essential profession. Nurses work tirelessly for the people. They are the frontline caregivers—checking vitals, administering medicines and injections, and providing care even before the doctors arrive,” he said.
Dr Saha informed that 153 nursing staff have recruited in 2024, and the government is continuously assessing the patient-to-nurse ratio to optimise deployment across the state.
He also emphasised the need to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of nurses, in line with this year’s International Nurses Day theme, which focuses on making the profession more attractive and economically significant.
The Chief Minister noted that many youth from Tripura are now pursuing nursing careers abroad, reflecting the growing demand and respect for the profession, and said, “Those in nursing have the privilege of serving humanity,” he said.
