Health ministry looks for 1000 doctors
The Ministry of Health in Myanmar is direly short on doctors, and a new plan to recruit 1000 more will barely begin to staunch the gap, according to government officials. As part of its 100-day priority agenda, the ministry has put out a call for 1000 more doctors and 700 medical staffers to bolster hospitals around the country, according to Dr Myat Wanna Soe, deputy director of the medical care department.
