TN revises incentive for specialists
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|January 18, 2025
AFTER a gap of four years, the National Health Mission (NHM) - Tamil Nadu revised incentive for engaging government and private specialists, including obstetricians, anaesthetists, and paediatricians, to provide Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CEMONC) at secondary and tertiary care hospitals.
The NHM funds government hospitals under various schemes, and expenses for hiring doctors are sanctioned to hospitals periodically. Officials said the revision is intended to address shortage of specialists at CEMONC centres. These centres were established to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates. They provide round-the-clock emergency care for pregnant women and newborns, primarily in taluk-level government hospitals.
