PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss said the NMC has removed a key restriction on setting up new medical colleges, opening the door for six new institutions in Tamil Nadu. The move could also add 1,550 MBBS seats by expanding existing colleges. He said PMK aims to ensure every district has a government medical college, amid an ongoing three-way electoral contest.

Chennai: PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss on Sunday claimed that the National Medical Commission has removed a regulation that hindered the establishment of new medical colleges in southern states, including Tamil Nadu.

He said this has created an opportunity to open six new medical colleges in the state.

In a statement, the PMK leader said that, according to a new notification issued by the Commission, new medical colleges equipped with adequate infrastructure could be established in any district of Tamil Nadu.

“Kancheepuram, Ranipet, Tirupattur, Mayiladuthurai, Perambalur, and Tenkasi, which do not have government medical colleges, will benefit from the new regulation,” he added.
