Eight hundred new doctors will be recruited by February 15 under Health Care and Nutrition Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva`s direction, a Ministry spokesman said.
The spokesman said 5,000 Medical Laboratory Technicians will also be recruited shortly while 2,200 midwives have already been recruited and are undergoing training. A total of 11,000 nurses are also undergoing training.
The ministry has given priority to human resource development to provide a better health service to the public. The ministry has done this after observing certain problems in the health sector such as the lack of technicians to operate equipment such as CTC and MRI scanners provided to outstation hospitals, he said.
The spokesman said arrangements will be made to train 10 medical students annually at the Post Graduate Institute of Medicine. The 10 students who pass the final year examination with the best qualifications will be selected.
`There are doctors who try to stay in urban hospitals for years without serving in rural hospitals saying they are doing the PGIM examination. From now, doctors will be allowed to sit for the PGIM examination only twice.
At present they are allowed to sit for this examination thrice`, he said.
The spokesman said all health sector officials who had served for over five years at one location will be transferred to another place to ensure a quality, justifiable and non partial health service to the public.

They will use their pregnant wives and many other things to hold on to their so called urban hospitals.
;-)
From now, doctors will be allowed to sit for the PGIM examination only twice.
Won't do any good incase if they forgot to put the year limitation for candidates.
Still no one talks about salaries.

The clever ones make money for themselves. Publicly funded opportunities need to be afforded to those who demonstrate commitment to the Public above progress as an individual.
We need more caring doctors and not smarter doctors to operate other people's machines.
