The Delhi Government has decided to set up a world-class medical college in Dwarka and its admission process will start from 2025. This will be a 600-bed maternal and child care hospital equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and will be built on the campus of the Indira Gandhi Hospital in Dwarka to ensure better infant care.
According to Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, the Arvind Kejriwal Government is working continuously to provide better health facilities to citizens and reinforce the public health infrastructure. “The number of beds in Government hospitals will increase rapidly in the next few years. We are also working to expand the capacity of various hospitals. The Kejriwal Government is committed to its goal and is dedicated to serving the people, which is why affordable and quality healthcare is being provided to people of Delhi,” said Jain.
“The Delhi Government has decided to set up a medical college with the Indira Gandhi Hospital. The campus will be built in Sector 17, and it will boost the city's healthcare infrastructure along with helping Delhi to emerge as a leader in the field of medical education,” said Jain. Dr B L Chaudhary, Director of the hospital, said, "The country needs good doctors, and keeping this in mind, opening of a medical school based on modern technology and health services in Dwarka Sector-17 was decided.
This will benefit meritorious students and society as a whole. Meritorious students who cannot afford the fees of private medical colleges will be able to make their dreams come true in the medical field by getting a chance to secure a seat in this Government medical college."
He added that youngsters would not have to go abroad for medical studies. The introduction of various courses in medical and health sciences is being considered for the medical college, and the plan is to complete the construction of the campus by 2025, the department said.
