Chandigarh health dept proposes DNB academic block for GMSH-16 at Sarangpur
Hindustan TimesThe UT health department has proposed to set up an academic block at Sarangpur for the students of Diplomate of National Board courses at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16, officials said on Friday. Earlier, the UT administration had sent a proposal to the Union ministry of health and family welfare to upgrade GMSH-16 to a medical college with 100 MBBS seats. Since our proposal of upgrading GMSH into a medical college was rejected, we wish to construct an academic block for DNB students, as the GMSH-16 campus does not have the required facilities for students of this course,” said Dr Suman Singh, director, health services, Chandigarh, adding that a detailed project plan had been submitted to the secretary, UT higher education, for approval. In the proposal, the health department has sought construction of the DNB academic block, lecture theatre, auditorium, library and hostel for students.
