Pathanamthitta MLA K. Sivadasan Nair has said that the existing healthcare facility at the General Hospital here should not be affected, in any way, in the name of naming it as Konni Medical College.
Talking to reporters here on Friday he said the Konni Government Medical College should function with all the required facilities at Konni itself and the General Hospital should be upgraded into a Speciality Hospital. The MLA said he came to know about the move to name the General Hospital as Konni Medical College only through the newspapers.
Mr. Nair said the grievances and demands of government doctors should be addressed through fruitful dialogues and the issues should not be permitted to affect the smooth functioning of the government healthcare centres.
