Rs 24.97 Crore allocated for 3-T MRI Machine at GMCH Akola
Maharashtra: The Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Akola, Maharashtra, is set to receive an advanced 'MRI 3 Tesla' machine, following administrative approval of Rs 24.97 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Yojana.
The announcement was made by Medical Education Minister Hasan Mushrif during the Question Hour in the Assembly on Wednesday in response to concerns raised by Akola MLA Sajid Pathan regarding delays in procuring the machine.
The Medical Education Minister said that the purchase of the machine was delayed due to a lack of adequate response during the initial tender process done through the Pharmaceutical Corporation. Now that the procurement work has been handed over to the newly formed Drugs and Materials Procurement Authority, the process will now move forward without any hindrance.
