No quick fix in sight over shortage of government doctors.

Abstract
NOW that it is quiet on the medical front, maybe it is time to redirect
our attention to what Mahatma Gandhi
said: The number of hospitals is not a sign of health, but of decay.
He is probably right because unless there are sick people, we don't need hospitals. And the more hospitals
there are, it would be a fair assumption that there are many more "sick" people around.
In other words, in order to cope with the increasing number of "sick" people, more hospitals need to be built,
which is somewhat an indicator of the "decay".
It then follows that more hospitals will need more doctors and, thus, by the same token, this too can be
another sign of the "decay".
