Amritsar: Government Medical College to overcome shortcomings
Advertisement
Amritsar: Targeting an increase in intake of MBBS students, by offering an addition of 50 seats the local Government Medical College (GMC) will be initiating steps to overcome its shortcomings. If all goes well, an addition of 50 MBBS seats will mean GMC offering 200 medical seats from the next session
The authorities of the local Government Medical College (GMC) are reported to be hopeful of the situation. A certificate by the college authorities has been submitted to the Union Ministry of Health underlying the fact that the work had been initiated to overcome shortcomings at the college, and be prepared for the next MCI inspection.
These shortcomings were listed by a team of the Medical Council of India (MCI) inspection in 2015. The work at the college broadly focuses on addressing issues of staff and infrastructure shortage for increasing the number of MBBS seats. Putting the MCI recommendations on a fast track mode, the ongoing work at the college is likely to be completed in the next eight months.
As reported by Tribune, Principal of the Government Medical College, Dr BS Bal, said, “The MCI has given us a month’s time to remove the shortcomings. We are already on the process and work has been initiated to remove deficiencies.” He said the work would be completed before the MCI team visits the GMC for a re-evaluation inspection.
