Estimated read time 1 min read

Health Minister Wailadmiki Shylla confirmed the Tura Medical College will be government-run, scrapping the earlier PPP plan. “We’ve decided it’ll be a government medical college, dropping the PPP mode,” Shylla told reporters on Wednesday.

The decision follows public demand for a government-run college. Recruiting faculty is a challenge, he said, due to a shortage of doctors willing to teach.  “The challenge is with faculties… we’re pushing for it, but it depends on the number of faculty we get,” he added.
