Shimla, May 7
The much-awaited approval from the Medical Council of India (MCI) for the increase of MBBS seats from 50 to 100 at Dr Rajendra Prasad Medical College, Tanda, has finally been received by the state government.
Chief Minister PK Dhumal said this at the three-day 29th Annual Conference of the Northern Chapter of the Association of Surgeons organised by the surgery department of Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) here today.
“It is only yesterday that we have received the MCI approval for increasing MBBS seats from 50 to 100 at Tanda and from 65 to 100 at IGMC, thereby taking the total number of MBBS seats to 200,” he disclosed.
Dhumal said the MCI approval would greatly help the government in tiding over the shortage of doctors as now every year 200 doctors would be available to the state. “It is after taking up the matter time and again with the MCI and the Central Government that the approval has come through,” he said. He added that the number of PG seats too had gone up from 39 to 111.
The Chief Minister said the government would provide all possible help to medical equipment manufacturers to set up their units in Himachal. “In case such manufacturing units come up in Himachal, we can get them at cost effective rates to provide better health facilities to the people,” he added.
The Chief Minister urged the doctors to serve with dedication and commitment as people come to them with a lot of hope and trust.
He conferred Life Achievement Awards upon Dr NK Pandey and Dr MP Vaidya.
