He stated that the institution’s post-graduate medical programme will be increased, and that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) will ensure faculty availability by transferring professors from other regions of the country.
“MBBS seats in the country have doubled to one lakh to ensure availability of more doctors in the country. This will also ensure availability of specialist doctors and subsequently sort out the problem of faculty shortage in medical colleges,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Mandviya, speaking at the inaugural session workshop on ‘holistic management of sickle cell disease’ in Jabalpur, said the government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, always thinks in terms of the big picture and is working on a detailed plan for where the health sector should be in the next 25 years.
