Health and Family Welfare Minister, James PK Sangma, inspected the Tura Medical College construction site today with the objective being to review the progress of construction work.
Sangma was accompanied by Director of Health Services, Dr Aman Warr, Chairman of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) Rakesh Sangma and other officials of the Health Department.
The minister expressed his satisfaction with the progress so far and said that the Health Department and the state government are working very hard to ensure that the medical college is made operational soon.
“Healthcare and the medical field have grown into a multi-faceted branch with many specializations and focus areas. For too long our bright young minds, with the aim to become professionals in the medical field, have had to seek admission in medical colleges in different states outside Meghalaya. Having a fully functional medical college in the state will not only boost the morale of our youth but will also bring us to be amongst the states having our very own medical college.” Sangma said.
The Minister also held a review meeting with health officials on various health-related schemes that are available.
