Sushila Tiwari Medical College and Hospital granted permission by the Centre

According to TOI,CMS Rawat, principal, government medical college, is implied to have said that this grant of permission will help us in attending to more prospective students in the region.  The construction process of the said college will begin soon, after receiving further approvals from the forest department on land transfer, and other procedural requirements.

The statistics in the Kumaon region also throw light on the further state of healthcare infrastructure requirement here. On an average, more than 600 patients are in different wards of the institutions sometimes rendering the administration incapable of providing more facilities to surging population. The out patient department caters to around 1,500-2,000 patients on a daily basis, as confirmed by TOI.

This decision by the centre on the college after the medical college has been embroiled in controversy most of the times. Even during the mandatory inspection and approval by the MCI, the institution had earlier ran into trouble for reported lack of facilities to run graduate and post-graduate medical courses.
