With no vacancies in their super speciality department, 12 government urologists, who completed their M.Ch. Urology in 2025, have been working as casualty medical officers (CMO) at emergency departments (EDs) of government medical college hospitals for nearly a year, providing emergency care and making entries in accident registries every day.
