Ramadoss calls for urgent measures to strengthen TN's public healthcare system
Southern Mail Newspaper
|June 08, 2026
Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder Dr S. Ramadoss has urged the Tamil Nadu government to take immediate and comprehensive steps to strengthen the state’s public healthcare infrastructure, citing a prolonged shortage of doctors, nurses and paramedical staff in government hospitals.
-
In a statement on Sunday, Ramadoss said that while Tamil Nadu has witnessed significant expansion in healthcare infrastructure over the past decade, manpower development has failed to keep pace. Several new hospitals have been established under the Directorate of Medical Services and Medical Education, while existing institutions have been upgraded with new buildings, departments and medical service programmes. However, corresponding increases in medical and support staff have not been made.
According to Ramadoss, no substantial number of new government doctor posts has been created since 2015 despite a sharp increase in patient footfall after the COVID-19 pandemic.
