"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that we have got a shortage of nurses in this country. Three years ago, I answered a Question here where I said that this country requires a minimum of 75,000 nurses. At the moment, we have only 36,000 nurses both in public and private hospitals. Therefore, we are far away from getting the number that we want. Our nursing schools are over-stretched. The lecturers and the teaching staff are not able to cope with the numbers that we admit in various Medical Training Centres (MTCs). Nevertheless, as a Government, we are trying to get as many nurses and other health workers as possible for this country."
