|December 06, 2024
OVER 1,000 village health nurses (VHNs) from various districts staged a hunger strike on Thursday, stressing on a charter of 15 demands, which included filling of over 3,500 VHN vacancies through the Medical Services Recruitment Board.
-
R Indira of Tamil Nadu Government All Health Nurses Association said one VHN is posted at one health sub-centre to cater to 5,000 people. But, even after decades of this setup and significant increase in population, the number of sub centres have not been increased in many places. So, one VHN is forced to cater to over 40,000 people in some places.
