Two Centrally sponsored schemes have been approved for increasing the number of MBBS seats in Government Institutions as follows:
Increasing the number of MBBS seats in the existing Government medical colleges from 50/100/150/200 to 100/150/200/250 with a Central Outlay of Rs. 7500 crores out of total cost of Rs.10000 crores with the fund sharing ratio between the Central Government and State/UT to the tune of 90:10 for North Eastern and Special Category States and 70:30 for other states. This would result into creation of 10000 additional MBBS seats; and
Upgradation of existing district medical hospitals with the bed strength of 200 or more in underserved areas of the country with a Central Outlay of Rs.8457.4 crore out of total cost of10971.1 crore with the fund sharing ratio between the Central Government and State/UT to the tune of 90:10 for North Eastern and Special Category States and 75:25 for other states. This would create an additional 5800 MBBS seats in the country.
These additional seats combined with the existing number of MBBS seats in both Government and Private Medical College is expected to meet the shortfall to a reasonable extent.
This was stated by Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare in a written reply to the Lok Sabha today.
