Telangana Govt Sanctions Rs 79.5 Crore for new hostel blocks at Gandhi Medical College
Medical Colleges Accused of Forcing Resident Doctors to Stay in Hostels
Hyderabad: In a significant development, Telangana Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha laid the foundation stone for new hostel blocks at Gandhi Medical College in Secunderabad. The initiative, which has a budget of ₹79.5 crore, aims to improve accommodation for boys, girls, and senior residents.
This initiative is followed by the three-day strike. The strike was initiated by the junior doctors in June during which the doctors demanded better living conditions. After the Health Minister's promise for the construction of new hostel buildings at both Gandhi Medical College and Osmania Medical College, the strike was concluded. On September 6th the foundation stone for the Osmania College hostel was laid.
The construction of these new hostel blocks is set to address the growing demand for student accommodation at the college.
During the speech at Gandhi Medical, Mr Raja Narasimha criticized the previous government for delaying the setting up of an IVF centre at Gandhi Hospital which had been under discussion for nearly six years with little progress.
