DME addresses Asifabad Medical College MBBS Students' concerns after Protest over lack of infra, faculty

As per the Edexlive Media news report, Telangana Junior Doctors Association (T-JUDA) president Dr Srinath said, “The issue is not unique to Asifabad Medical College; most new medical colleges are facing similar challenges with inadequate infrastructure and faculty. We are now demanding that the government recruit assistant professors and associate professors on a regular basis, rather than on a contract basis, and provide infrastructure that meets NMC standards.”

On this, Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the college principal was accused of ignoring the students' requests to resolve these issues, the students submitted a memorandum to Collector Venkatesh Dothre demanding his intervention in resolving the challenges being faced by the college.

Apart from this, the students also made representation, where they also called for the recruitment of lab technicians, sufficient assistants and associate professors to ensure proper teaching. They even stated that the issues were previously informed to the principal but no improvement was being made.
