Faculty crisis: NMC issues show-cause notices to 34 TN Govt Medical Colleges
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has slapped show cause notices on 34 Government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu for deficiencies in faculty and services, including labs and surgeries. The action has reportedly been taken against all the government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu, except Madras Medical College and Govt Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital.
According to The Times of India, among the 36 Government medical colleges (GMCs) in the State, altogether 34 colleges have a shortage of staff in up to 95% of the departments, including the departments of general medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics, and dermatology. This was the most common deficiency that NMC highlighted in the show-cause notices issued to these medical colleges.
