💨 Abstract

Himachal Pradesh has increased the monthly stipends of medical specialists by 50-170% to attract more professionals. The move aims to fill 376 vacant specialist doctor positions and improve healthcare services, as currently, 9.5 lakh patients travel outside the state for treatment, resulting in an economic loss of Rs 1,350 crore annually.
