India to get record number of doctors in next 10 years due to govt. push for medical education: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the country will get a record number of doctors in the next 10 years due to the Central government's policy of establishing at least one medical college in every district.

Speaking after dedicating to the nation a 200-bed K.K. Patel Mutli-speciality Hospital in Bhuj in Gujarat's Kutch district via video-conference, he said coronavirus is still lurking and people should not take it easy and be watchful.

The modern health facility is the first charitable multi-speciality hospital in the Kutch region and it has been built by the Leuva Patel community of Bhuj with help from donors based in India and abroad.
