The State stands to lose 450 MBBS seats this academic year, with the NMC issuing notices to Jubilee Mission Medical College, Thrissur, Gokulam Meddical College, Thiruvananthapuram, CSI Somerset Memorial Medical College, Karakonam, and SUT Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, denying the continuance of recognition to MBBS courses run by these institutions. NMC’s action follows a physical inspection in these institutions
K. Mohanan, the Vice-Chancellor (V-C) of Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS), has called a meeting of the Principals of four private medical colleges in the State after the National Medical Commission (NMC) refused to grant continuance of recognition to the undergraduate courses run by these colleges.
The meeting will be conducted online on Tuesday. It has been called by the V-C following a directive by Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who is the Chancellor, to intervene and confer with the NMC on behalf of the medical colleges.
