Question

Very few doctors are willing to live in rural areas. In these circumstances, which of the following measures can be taken to improve the health infrastructure in rural areas?

पर्याय

• It must be a compulsory clause at the time of admission in MBBS that the person will have to work at least for 2 years in a rural area after completing his course

• Another alternative can be Indian System of Medicine-AYUSH. It stands for Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Sidhdha, Naturopathy and Homeopathy.

• There are 3004 ISM hospitals, 23,028 dispensaries and 6,111,431 registered practitioners in India. We need to increase the number of hospitals, dispensaries and practitioners but precaution is that those practicing ISM must have proper degree.

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

Few doctors are willing to relocate to rural locations, and this is true. We can take the following actions to help with this:

1.  It should be a condition of admission to the MBBS programme that the student work in a rural area for at least two years following graduation.
2. Indian System of Medicine (AYUSH) is another option. Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Naturopathy, and Homeopathy are some of the terms used to describe these practices.
3. India has 3004 ISM hospitals, 23,028 dispensaries, and 6,111,431 practising physicians. We need more hospitals, dispensaries, and practitioners, but those who practise ISM must hold a proper degree.
4. Doctors in rural and highway locations should have access to electricity.
