GMCH-32 Shelves Infectious Disease Center, Proposes Academic Block
GMCH-32, a hospital, originally planned to build a special center for infectious diseases.
This plan has been canceled.
Instead, the hospital will build a new Academic Block 2.
The main reason is to increase the number of medical students, which will improve the ratio of doctors to patients.
The hospital currently has 150 spots for medical students and 157 for those studying for advanced degrees.
The plan for an advanced infectious disease center at GMCH-32 has been shelved.
The UT Administration approved the center in January 2022.
A new Academic Block 2 is now proposed in its place.
GMCH-32 currently offers 150 MBBS seats and 157 post-graduation seats.
The shift aims to increase MBBS seats to improve the doctor-patient ratio.
