These porposed eight new medical colleges would be set up at Ramagundam, Wanaparthy, Nagarkurnool, Mahabubabad, Kothagudem, Jagtial, Mancherial, and Sangareddy.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the Telangana Government had formally applied to the erstwhile Medical Council of India (MCI), now National Medical Commission (NMC), and sought its permission for the eight new government medical colleges with an intake capacity of 150 MBBS seats each.
As per the latest media report by Newstracklive.com, after the formal application from the Government seeking approval for the eight new proposed medical colleges, an apex medical regulator's team is expected to visit these medical colleges in December this year. Keeping that in mind, the Government has started ensuring that all the requirements of NMC guidelines are duly met and for this, the DME has begun filling up the posts of DME doctors, Para Medical Staff, and other categories.
The daily further adds that the State Government doesn't intend to limit these hospitals for teaching purposes only, rather it wishes to provide diagnostic services to the people in the attached hospitals.
Aiming to make these medical colleges functional by the next year, the Roads and Buildings (R&B) Department has already constructed the medical college buildings. Further, the DME officials are also taking steps to start 12 departments including Cardiology, Neurology, Gastroenterology and Cardio Thoracic.
