Medical Dialogues team had earlier published news related to the hospital where the apex medical regulator of India, National Medical Commission (NMC) had set a pre-condition for the Nashik Municipal Corporation for setting up the proposed post-graduate medical college at the Bytco Hospital.

As per the condition of the Apex medical body, the Nashik civic body needed to tie up with a local medical college for obtaining initial permission from NMC to run the PG medical college. Such a pre-condition had been brought in place by NMC because the civic body did not have any undergraduate medical college of its own.

The plan for setting up a PG medical college in Nashik has been at place for a couple of years. It was earlier reported that in a bid to commence the PG medical college and hospital, Nashik Municipal Corporation was planning to augment its existing new Bytco hospital by adding two more storeys to the existing building.
