Pune: The Pune Zilla Parishad has decided to hire 60 MBBS and 12 MD doctors for the dedicated Covid health centre in Hinjewadi on a three-month contract.
The health centre has a total capacity of 450 beds, but only 200 are functioning. It receives patients from across 13 tehsils in the district. “We could not commission the remaining 250 beds due to manpower shortage. At present, we have 20 doctors to look after our patients,” said medical superintendent Dr Rajesh More.
Ayush Prasad, chief executive officer of the ZP, has issued a notice, inviting applications from doctors.
“We didn’t receive a positive response from doctors in the past. Things would be difficult if the situation remains the same for long. The centre has oxygen beds and portable ventilators, which are being used while shifting critical patients to other centres,” Dr More said.
Rural Pune has recorded 12,066 progressive cases since the outbreak.
