West Bengal govt to recruit around 2,000 doctors, 8,000 nurses in state-run hospitals

Kolkata, Nov 12 (UNI) The West Bengal health department will begin a major recruitment drive this week to plug vacancies in its public health system, with around 2,000 doctors and 8,000 nursing personnel set to be recruited through a combination of contractual and permanent appointments, Health Minister Dr Sharadwat Mukherjee said on Thursday.
Advertisements for the recruitment are expected to be issued from this week, with the government initially relying on contractual appointments to meet urgent manpower requirements while permanent recruitment progresses through the established process, Mukherjee told this reporter.
