To check whether facilities are sufficient to increase intake
A four-member Medical Council of India (MCI) team began its two-day inspection of Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital (TVMCH) in Palayamkottai on Wednesday to check whether the facilities available were adequate for providing quality medical education to 250 students every year.
The team, headed by Chandrakant from Nagpur, visited all the departments of the 52-year-old hospital and inspected the facilities at outpatients and inpatients sections.
They also interacted with Dean S.M. Kannan and heads of various departments to understand the hospital’s role in providing medical assistance to poor patients from Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Kanniyakumari districts.
Based on the team’s report, the MCI will decide on increasing the number of students to be admitted to the college from 150 to 250.
As the TVMCH has augmented its infrastructure over the past few years and introduced new departments to provide quality healthcare to poor patients, the Centre sanctioned Rs. 120 crore for establishing a super-speciality block, for which the State government has released its contribution of Rs. 30 crore.
The facility is likely to be inaugurated through videoconferencing when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Madurai later this month to lay the foundation stone for All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
Similarly, a four-member MCI team began its inspection of Madurai Medical College. The team, led by G.V. Prakash from Tirupati, inspected works taking place in the college, including establishment of an academic block, newly constructed hostels and administrative block.
The MCI team members, who interacted with Dean (in-charge) S. Shanmugasundaram, checked whether the facilities available would be sufficient to provide quality education to 250 students. They also assessed the faculty strength and enquired with some of the heads of departments about the treatment provided at the hospital and patient inflow.
Dr. Shanmugasundaram told them that they had recently laid the foundation stone for the construction of a bigger lecture hall and an academic block to house six non-clinical departments at a total cost of Rs. 37 crore. He also said work was on to construct new hostel blocks for men and women.
