Agencies
NEW DELHI, Apr 15: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated a multi-speciality hospital in Gujarat’s Bhuj via video-conferencing.
He said the country will get a record number of doctors in the next 10 years due to the central government’s policy of establishing at least one medical college in every district.
The 200-bedded KK Patel mutli-speciality hospital has been built by the Leuva Patel community.
“The goal of having at least one medical college in every district and ensuring that medical education was in reach of everyone will result in the country getting a record numbers of doctors after 10 years,” the PM said.
He said two decades ago Gujarat had just nine medical colleges, but the medical education scenario has improved vastly in the last 20 years.
“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,” he added. |
