The Health Minister has instructed officials to promptly submit a request to the Uttarakhand Medical Service Selection Board (UKMSSB) to expedite the recruitment process.

According to reports, the Health Minister emphasized, "The government is dedicated to improving the healthcare system. Therefore, doctors are being assigned to remote locations.
