Over 70 West Bengal Medical Colleges Flout Regulatory Norms

In a recent statement presented in the Rajya Sabha, it was revealed that over 70 medical colleges in West Bengal have been found non-compliant with prescribed regulatory standards. The deficiencies were noted across critical areas such as faculty availability, infrastructure quality, and clinical parameters.

The report, based on inspections and assessments conducted by relevant authorities, highlights a concerning gap in the essential requirements needed to maintain medical education and patient care standards. These deficiencies could potentially impact the quality of medical training and healthcare delivery in the state.

Officials emphasized that steps are being taken to address the shortcomings, with institutions being advised to initiate corrective measures. Regular monitoring and follow-up visits are also being planned to ensure compliance.

This development has sparked fresh discussions around the quality and oversight of medical education infrastructure in the region, with stakeholders calling for swift reforms and stricter enforcement of norms.
