The State secretariat of the Joint Council has asked the government to stop duping the Medical Council of India by redeploying faculty in government medical colleges to the newly created institutions at Manjeri and Idukki for securing MCI’s recognition for the latter.
In a statement, the Joint Council dismissed the government’s arguments about excess faculty in the GMCs and said there were not enough doctors there to cater to the increasing number of patients turning up at the OP clinics. — Special Correspondent
