The Kerala Government Medical College Teachers’ Association (KGMCTA) has demanded that the unscientific, mass transfer of faculty in medical colleges to the new medical colleges of Idukki and Konni on the eve of inspection by the National Medical Council (NMC) be withdrawn immediately.
In a statement here on Monday, the KGMCTA pointed out that the Health department has sought to transfer en masse 61 specialist doctors from the Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam and Thrissur medical colleges to the new ones in Idukki and Konni in a single day, to “dupe the NMC” and gain recognition for the colleges .
