Tripura open to setting up its 3rd medical college under PPP Mode
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said his government is ready to welcome any suitable and viable public private partnership (PPP) initiative in setting up medical colleges in the northeastern state.
His remark comes after the chief minister held a meeting with a delegation of NITI Aayog led by its senior member Dr V K Saraswat at his residence on Tuesday evening.
Currently, the state has two medical colleges, Agartala Government Medical College, and another society-run Tripura Medical College.
