Efforts by the newly established Government Medical College in Konni to commence classes for medical undergraduate students in the ongoing academic year have received a major shot in the arm with the National Medical Commission (NMC) expressing satisfaction over the preparations at the institution.
According to Health Minister Veena George, the college is expected to receive a written assurance from the NMC soon. She attributed the positive development to the emergency interventions made by the Kerala government.
“Development works worth over ₹250 crore have been carried out at the hospital since this government came to power. Environmental clearance has been obtained and a Hospital Development Committee (HDS) constituted to ensure smooth running of the institution,’’ she said.
