clinic will be having a qualified doctor, a nurse and a medical attendant.

 

They will be equipped with the tools to attend to primary health issues and the state health department has said those who require further treatment would be sent to the nearby referral hospitals.

 

It has said the medical services recruitment board is in the process of selecting additional doctors and paramedical staff to cater to the increasing requirements.
