Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi has urged the government to expedite steps to enable the public to avail full benefits of a Government Medical College Hospital in the district.
In a letter to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday, Mr. Gandhi said the setting up of a medical college under the public sector was a long-standing demand from the people of the backward district.
Under the Centrally sponsored Transformation of Aspirational Districts programme, medical colleges could be established by upgrading district or referral hospitals in aspirational districts, but no such institutions have been set up in the State under the initiative.
