The State Government has decided to train students of all medical colleges for tackling the coronavirus situation, official sources said on Sunday.
“Considering the dearth of doctors, it has been decided that the 7th, 8th and 9th semester MBBS students of all medical colleges will be trained who could be deployed in case need arises. In the first phase, the training of the government establishments would be taken up. The private medical colleges will also be required to train the doctors and students simultaneously,” an official order of the GA & PG Department said.
It has also been decided that intensive training of the personnel in accordance with available protocols would be conducted. Labour & ESI & W&CD Secretary Anu Garg, assisted by her IAS colleague Bhupendra S Poonia, would be handling this crucial assignment, the order added.
