Coimbatore City Corporation to rope in more nurses

COIMBATORE: The city corporation has stepped up efforts on the fight against Covid by strengthening its healthcare workforce.
After roping in 25 doctors a few days ago, the civic body held interviews to rope in 100 nurses for Covid treatment. Scores of nursing graduates attended the interview.
The selection process has been fast-tracked to avoid delays, keeping in mind the emergency situation. The nurses would be issued appointment orders immediately after the selection process is over. They would be roped in for a period of three months for now for Covid service and their service could be extended depending upon the Covid situation. Corporation officials said that the nurses, who would be paid Rs 12,000 a month, would be employed across the five zones.
