thebalanced.newsPMK Leader Highlights Opportunity for Six New Medical Colleges in Tamil Nadu
PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss stated that the National Medical Commission has removed a regulation restricting new medical colleges in southern states, including Tamil Nadu. This change allows the establishment of six new government medical colleges in districts without them, such as Kancheepuram and Tenkasi. He also noted potential increases in seats at existing colleges, potentially adding 1,550 seats. Ramadoss emphasized PMK's goal for every Tamil Nadu district to have a government medical college and plans to pursue this if AIADMK forms the next government.
