New Delhi: The Central Government has directed the Medical Council of India (MCI) to revise the norms as prescribed in the MCI regulations for opening of new medical colleges on a minimum standard requirement for 50/10/150 MBBS admissions annually.
This was informed by Mrs. Panabaka Lakshmi, Minister of State for Health & Family Welfare in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
Relaxations have been given in the norms for land requirement criteria for campus, bed strength, indoor occupancy for opening of medical colleges in the states where National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is operational, North Eastern states, hill states and hilly districts in other states.
For opening of new medical colleges in these areas, the total land requirement will be 20 acres in not more than two pieces of land separated by a distance of 15 kms as against 25 acres prescribed for other parts of the country.
The land separated by a road or canal connected with a bridge shall be treated as one piece of land for opening of medical colleges.
The criteria relating to bed strength in the teaching hospitals at the time of starting a medical college has been relaxed to 250 beds as against the 300 beds prescribe for other parts of the country.
The criterion for indoor bed occupancy in these areas has been relaxed to 60 percent. This will help in opening of new medical colleges in unserved and under-served areas of the country and also increase the number of medical colleges as well as production of doctors in the country.
These decisions will take effect only after the Medical Council of India (MCI) issues a notification on the same.
