"We are planning to formulate a new policy to bring in doctors from other states to meet the shortage of doctors in the state. Let's see it (the proposed policy) is still in the planning stage. We hope we will be able to come out with a plan very soon," former minister and chairman West Bengal medical services corporation Chandrima Bhattacharya said.
West Bengal principal heath secretary R S Shukla said the state is taking several steps to attract doctors from other states.
