Overview
Here are the top health news for the day:
In a major boost to medical education in Karnataka, from this academic year 650 MBBS and 216 Postgraduate medical seats have been added to the State seat matrix taking the total number of MBBS seats and PG seats to 10,795 and 5,360 respectively.
The reason for such a huge increase in the total number of medical seats is the recent approval from the National Medical Commission (NMC) for the government medical colleges in Haveri, Yadgir and Chikmagaluru and the medical seats in Sri Siddaganga Institute of Medical Sciences, Tumakuru. Apart from this, 50 medical seats have been increased in Ballari's Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences as well.
Expressing concern over the alarming level of attrition at North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS), the High Court of Meghalaya has recently directed the State to address the issue and take required measures as a remedy.
"Some reasons were indicated as to why Shillong may not be an attractive long-term proposition. However, it is inconceivable that the doctors are getting better pay at other institutes since the pay and benefits would be almost the same in all comparable institutes," noted the HC bench comprising of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice W Diengdoh.
