“At present, there are 680 Palle Dawakhanas in the State and recently Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has directed us to establish 900 additional such facilities. The recruitment of doctors for Palle Dawakhanas and PHCs will be taken up simultaneously and concluded at the earliest,” Harish Rao said.

In the last few months, nearly 200 young doctors, who were already posted in PHCs in the districts, had joined Post Graduate courses from this academic year. As a result, the State government has decided to quickly complete the process of recruitment of doctors in all the PHCs in the next ten days.
