STAFF CRUNCH IN DELHI STATE CANCER INSTITUTE

Staff crunch hits Delhi State Cancer Institute hard

The Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI) is facing a shortage of faculty, resident doctors, and trained technicians, causing delays in surgeries for cancer patients. Patients are being advised multiple tests without receiving a date for their operation. The shortage has led to a decrease in the number of surgeries conducted, with some types of surgeries not being performed for years. Vacancies for faculty members, resident doctors, and paramedical staff are not being filled, causing further strain on the facility. The director of DSCI is working to resolve the issue through recruitment efforts.
