Talking to reporters after reviewing the various schemes of the health and medical education departments in Bangalore, Gulam Nabi Azad, minister for health and family welfare said, “Major of the doctors don’t show interest to work in rural areas. Because of this village people don’t get appropriate treatment at the right time.
State Governments are pressing the Central Government to take action against this. Very soon the Central Government will introduce three years medical course. MBBS students applying for admission to post-graduate medical courses from academic year 2015-16 will have to undertake a mandatory rural posting at a public health centre (PHC) for one year.”
