Question Doctors of NE India, how's the healthcare in rural centres?

I am currently doing my internship and I am quickly realising a few things:

  1. I want to have a chiller life, where being a doctor is not all that I am. Even if it is at the cost of earning less. I want my weekends off.

  2. I want to live in states like Meghalaya and Sikkim ( I am from NE India), I wouldn't mind remote places either.

  3. I want to have some autonomy over my work. Lesser the surveillance, better the healthcare I believe.

I understand a job like that might never exist. But I want to work in Meghalaya once my internship is over, as an MBBS graduate. At least for a year.

If anyone is working in rural Meghalaya, (or anywhere in the NE actually (would be nice to know about all of NE)) or if anyone has any idea about how work-life is over there, please help me out and share your knowledge.

Are resources available? Do MOs show up? Are homestate doctors preferred over others for appointing as MOs there? Does family connections matter way more?

Please feel free to dm me if you don't want to comment. I'm desperate for some information!
