Value: 200 Crore | State cabinet minister for technical and medical education Ashutosh Tandon said medical services will be provided at affordable rates. In this context, the government has decided to set up a super specialty wing at the Sarojini Naidu Medical College (SNMC) here
Giving details, Tandon said on February 25, he will be signing a memorandum of understanding with Union cabinet minister for health and family JP Nadda for setting up the super specialty wing at SNMC. The project has got a grant of 200 crore and will be borne by both state and Centre under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojna
Tandon reached the SN Medical College on Sunday afternoon and conducted spot inspection of the old out patient department (OPD) where the super specialty wing is proposed to be set in an area spanning 2,000 square metre. The wing is likely to be ready in three years. It will have a 260-bed capacity and a 52-bed intensive care unit, said SNMC principal Saroj Singh
To address the issue of shortage of experienced doctors, the minister said the state government has sent a proposal to the Medical Council of India (MCI) to extend the retirement age of doctors from 65 years to 70 years. Besides, all undergraduate and post-graduate students in government medical colleges will have to compulsorily serve in rural areas for at least one year
