Sewri TB Hospital struggles to hire intensivists a year after new IRCU launch

Sewri TB Hospital faces a critical shortage of intensivists, impacting its Intensive Respiratory Care Unit. The hospital, handling 6,000-7,000 annual admissions, struggles to attract specialists due to stigma, fear of TB, and uncompetitive salaries compared to private hospitals. Despite staffing challenges, the hospital is pursuing recognition as a Centre of Excellence from the Central TB Division.
