Kerala Government Advances 24x7 Specialist Services Amid KGMOA Concerns
The Kerala government plans to implement 24x7 specialist services in district and general hospitals, with around 140 doctors already appointed. Health Minister K. Muraleedharan affirmed no reversal of the decision despite concerns from the Kerala Government Medical Officers' Association (KGMOA), which highlighted staff shortages and warned that redeploying existing doctors could strain the healthcare system. The government invited KGMOA for discussions to address implementation challenges and will pilot the scheme at Punalur district hospital starting September 1.
