Muzaffarpur, Feb. 16: Health minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey has said the state government was exploring the possibilities to start postgraduate courses in disciplines that have sufficient teacher strength at Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH). <\/p>\n
Choubey, who reviewed the ongoing health schemes with senior officials of Tirhut and Saran divisions last night, said the government was not averse to postgraduate courses, but SKMCH would be allowed to start courses in departments that have sufficient teachers. <\/p>\n
In 2010, the Centre had allowed SKMCH to start postgraduate courses in 12 subjects. It provided Rs 6 crore to SKMCH for infrastructure development before introducing the postgraduate courses. But as things stand now, the heads of the departments of those courses, in which the postgraduate classes were scheduled to start, sat over the proposal allegedly to scuttle the move. <\/p>\n
SKMCH principal D.K. Sinha had complained about the \"lethargic approach\" of the heads of various departments and sought immediate intervention of the government. <\/p>\n
Choubey discussed the issue at length with the superintendent of SKMCH, G.K. Thakur, Sinha and other senior doctors. The minister said: \"SKMCH would soon start postgraduate classes in medicine, surgery, preventive and social medicine, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology and pathology.\" The minister admitted that SKMCH was in a tight spot to start postgraduate courses for want of teachers. On the encephalitis breakout in Muzaffarpur and Gaya, the health minister said the state is leaving no stone unturned to control its surge and is prepared to prevent it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
