By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, APRIL 2. A city-based consultant with the World Bank has called for upgrading the Medical College as a deemed university under the relevant UGC Act to streamline the functioning of the premier teaching institution and improve the quality of patient care.

In a memorandum submitted to the K. Mohandas, inquiry commission examining the complaints regarding the treatment provided to former Governor, Sikander Bakht, T.V. Sukumaran Nair makes out a case for developing the Medical College, which includes under its ambit the 765-bedded SAT Hospital, as a Medical Deemed Varsity under Section 3 of the UGC Act.
