One medical college in each district to produce record number of doctors in 10 years: PM Modi
India Today
PM Narendra Modi said that the nation will have a record number of doctors in the next 10 years with at least one medical college in each district.
PM Narendra Modi said that India will be producing a record number of doctors in the upcoming decade because of the central government’s policy of setting up at least one medical college in each district. The Prime Minister’s remarks came as he was virtually dedicating a 200-bed KK Patel Multi-speciality Hospital in Gujarat’s Bhuj on Friday through video conferencing. This muti-speciality hospital has been set up by the Leuva Patel community.
PM Modi had remarked, “The goal of having at least one medical college in every district and ensuring that medical education was within reach of everyone will result in the country getting a record number of doctors after 10 years.”
PM Modi went on to say that while Gujarat had only nine medical colleges two decades ago, the medical education scenario has greatly improved in the past 20 years.
He went on to say, “Now the state has one AIIMS and over three dozen medical colleges. Earlier, only 1,000 students used to get admission in medical colleges of Gujarat, now around 6,000 students get admission in these colleges.”
“AIIMS in Rajkot has started admitting 50 students from 2021,” the prime minister added.
