Telangana's Husnabad to Get Its First Govt PG Medical College With 50 Seats

Medical Dialogues earlier reported that to address the infrastructure and staffing shortages in government medical colleges, the Telangana State Health Department has established Medical College Monitoring Committees (MCMCs).

After conducting field visits to 34 GMCs across Telangana, these committees will assess the infrastructure, faculty, hospital operations, and student facilities, and thereafter submit a detailed report along with photographic evidence by June 30.

This came in response to the National Medical Commission's show-cause notice to 26 out of 34 government medical colleges in the State. After receiving NMC's notice on June 13, Health Secretary Christina Z Chongthu issued an order on June 19 announcing the formation of the MCMCs.

Setting up these committees, the Health Department has tasked them to ensure that all the government medical colleges in Telangana meet the benchmarks set by the NMC- the Apex Medical Education Regulatory Body in the country- by June 2028.
