Sources say the department has invited applications from private practitioners to outsource obstetrics.The doctors have been asked to provide OPD and delivery services whenever required at selected PHCs/CHCs.

Applications have been invited for part-time women medical officers at PHCs and part-time gynaecologists at CHCs. Krishan Kumar, Managing Director, National Rural Health Mission, Punjab, said they had already started receiving applications. He said through this endeavour, they would be able to bring down mother and infant mortality rate.
