Five doctors would be appointed to each of these PHCs in a couple of months to enable them to function round the clock, Mr. Panneerselvam said. In the past four years, a total of 6,389 doctors were recruited in the State and 783 more doctors would be recruited through personal interviews to be conducted on August 23, 24 and 25.
