A three-member team of the Medical Council of India on Monday inspected the Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Hospital to ascertain if the compliance report submitted earlier for granting permanent affiliation for the increased 100 seats for the first year MBBS are fulfilled.
Two years ago, the medical college was given temporary approval for increasing the intake for first year MBBS from 75 to 100 seats.
Hence, the college was asked to fulfil statutory infrastructure for giving permanent affiliation.
A team led by coordinator Dr. Biraj Kumar Das, Professor, Department of ENT, Jorhat Medical College and Hospital, Assam, and members Dr. Sachidananda Mohanty, Professor, Department of Forensic Medicine, MKCG Medical College, Orissa, and Dr. S. Aruna, Professor, Department of Anatomy, Indira Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry, visited various departments to ascertain whether the norms are fulfilled.
Discussion
The team also held discussions with Dr. N. Mohan, Dean of the hospital, Dr, Swaminathan, Dr. P.V. Dhanapal, Deputy Medical Superintendent, Dr. Geetha David, Resident Medical Officer, and Dr. Sundaravel, Nodal Officer. The team would in turn submit report to MCI and based on it permanent affiliation would be granted, doctors said.
The team had earlier visited the medical college on Steel Plant Road and ascertained the infrastructure present there.
