Material collection facilities are to be set up in all Government Medical Colleges in the State this financial year itself so that waste management – with the exception of biomedical waste – can be carried out in a scientific manner, Health Minister Veena George has said. Housekeeping divisions will coordinate the cleaning and sanitation activities at medical colleges, she added.
She was speaking at a meeting of Superintendents and Principals of all Government Medical Colleges in the State here on Tuesday.
Ms. George claimed that selected medical colleges would be part of the Health Hub which had been proposed in the Budget. She directed that all facilities be arranged at medical colleges to provide good medical care to people from outside the State or the country.
