Shimla, May 7
Health and Family Welfare Minister Rajiv Bindal said no government hospital would be attached with private medical colleges coming up in the districts of Solan, Sirmour, Una and Hamirpur.
Addressing a press conference here today, he said the endeavour of the government was to have more medical colleges so that the shortage of doctors in the state could be overcome. “The medical colleges coming up in the private sector will have to set up their own hospitals as per the MCI guidelines which will further add to the number of bed strength and facilities for patients,” he said.
He said besides the 200 MBBS seats at the two medical colleges in Shimla and Tanda, the setting up of private medical colleges would also provide more MBBS doctors required to strengthen health facilities.
“The response to the advertisement for setting up private medical colleges did not get a very encouraging response, but we have issued letter of intend to for four medical colleges,” he said.
He said work on the ESI hospital at Mandi was in full swing and it was expected that admission for 100 MBBS seats would be held there in 2012.
