Urologists Work as Casualty Officers in Tamil Nadu
Urologists in several Tamil Nadu government hospitals are working as casualty medical officers in emergency departments because of a lack of vacancies in their own field. Sources say no new urology posts have been created for years. Several government medical colleges have only one urologist, and some districts have no urology services.
