Don't run down government colleges, Minister tells doctors

By Our Staff Reporter

THANJAVUR, JUNE 19. The Health Minister, N. Thalavai Sundaram, today appealed to doctors working in government medical colleges not to become "black sheep."

Some doctors wrote anonymous letters to the Medical Council of India (MCI) stating the colleges were ill-equipped, he regretted.

This was to wreck government medical colleges and get many of their courses derecognised and to favour private colleges.

"At least in the interest of your children (most of the doctors want their children to become doctors), don't do this as you will have to spend lakhs of rupees to educate your children in private colleges if government medical colleges are derecognised," he said.

Mr. Sundaram was reviewing the status of the Thanjavur Medical College for MCI recognition of courses at a meeting here today.
