Move comes ahead of Nation Medical Commission’s visit to MCH; authorities say doctors need not be relocated
In a significant move, the State government has posted 47 of the 50 medical doctors attached to the Pathanamthitta General Hospital (GH) to the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Konni, on a ‘deemed deputation basis.’
The move comes just days ahead of a proposed visit of the National Medical Commission (NMC) to the medical college. The list of doctors posted on deputation also include hospital superintendent Taj Paul and deputy superintendent C.R. Jayasankar, besides the resident medical officer.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
