BANGALORE: The State Government will soon start an induction course for medical officers of primary health centres (PHCs), Commissioner for Health Basavaraju has said.
Speaking after inaugurating an expert group meeting to discuss findings of a study on training needs assessment for health managers carried out by the Institute of Public Health (IPH), Bangalore, Mr. Basavaraju said there was need to address the gaps in the National Rural Health Mission. He said the State Government had also evolved a training programme on hospital management for district medical officers. This was essential to improve the management skills of health officers, he said.
Maya Ann Elias from IPH presented the findings of a study on the status of district health managers in Orissa and Karnataka.

Four districts in Orissa and Karnataka were selected for the study through purposive sampling. The key findings included the need for training in public health management for government doctors and creation of separate cadres for clinical services and public health management, he said.
