Plans for 330 New PG Medical Seats in Himachal

Along with school education, the Chief Minister also announced plans to strengthen medical education in the state. The government is planning to add 330 new postgraduate medical seats across Himachal Pradesh.

Out of these, 100 postgraduate seats will be at Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College in Tanda. This step is aimed at increasing the number of specialist doctors in the state and improving healthcare services for people.

Better Medical Facilities Coming to Himachal Hospitals

The government is also upgrading medical infrastructure in the state. Advanced medical equipment is being installed in government medical colleges and hospitals, including Dr RPGMC Tanda. This will help reduce the need for patients to go outside Himachal for special treatment.

Himachal Pradesh has become the first state in India to introduce robotic surgery in government healthcare sector. 3 Tesla MRI scanners are being installed in all government medical colleges. The facility is already working at IGMC Shimla and Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialities in Chamiyana.

District and regional hospitals are also getting 1.5 Tesla MRI scanners, PET scanners, CT scanners and advanced cancer treatment systems. Old and outdated medical equipment is being replaced with new ones.

These announcements were made during the Chief Minister’s visit to Nagrota Bagwan where he also checked the development works in the area.
