GMCH Purnia Undergoes NMC Inspection to begin MBBS course
Bihar: The National Medical Commission (NMC), on Wednesday, 11th August 2021, sent a 2 member team for a full-day inspection of the newly established Government Medical College and Hospital, Purnia, which plans to invite admissions for 100 MBBS seats from next year.
The COVID-19 pandemic saw a dearth of medical professionals in the country and the entire medical fraternity was overworked and understaffed. Efforts are being made by the government to increase the quality of existing medical institutions and establish new, well-equipped medical institutions in India.
Diplomate of National Board (DNB) courses have already started at the GMC in obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and general medicine, which were allotted 12 seats each in March this year.
The foundation for the medical college and hospital was laid virtually by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019. The construction work was carried out by Bihar Medical Services and Infrastructure Corporation Limited (BMSICL) at a cost of ₹365.58 crore. The building is almost ready and its superintendent and principal, besides 28 doctors and resident professors, have already been appointed. Besides these, 32 doctors of Sadar Hospital at Purnia will be accommodated in the GMCH.
