Kasaragod Medical College Hospital to Turn into Primary Health Centre
Kasargod: The Kasargod Medical College Hospital will likely be reopened as a primary health centre with out-patient (OP) consultations on December 1st, 2021, according to the latest statement released by the Directorate of Medical Education. Officials from the DME further added that a full-fledged hospital is at least two years away.
In the thick of the pandemic, a covid hospital with 120 beds was run from the administrative block of the medical college, which is under construction since 2014.
"Now that the covid cases have fallen and can be managed by other hospitals in the district, we are planning to start general non-covid OP consultation in the administrative block," said Dr Roy N, special officer (new medical colleges), Directorate of Medical Education. The OP wing will have eight counters and will be managed by nine doctors and nine nurses.
Twelve doctors have been appointed by the government to run the covid hospital at the medical college building.
