Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu announced plans to formulate a comprehensive 'Senior Residency Policy' for all state medical colleges. The policy aims to optimize human resources by increasing the GDO quota in senior residency to 66 percent. Additionally, new MD/MS programs will be introduced in several medical colleges, and super-specialists will be appointed. The government also plans to hire 1,000 Patient Care Assistants (Rogi Mitras) to improve patient services, with a pilot project starting in Hamirpur.
