In a major development to revitalize health and medical education in the Himalayan region, the Central government on Monday, September 23, 2019, announced a new medical college for the Leh district of Ladakh region.
The Health and Medical Education Department has prepared a detailed project report (DPR) and technical report for the construction of the government medical college as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare for the opening of 75 new medical colleges throughout the country.
The officials informed that the pre-execution DPR is in the process of finalization and a total amount Rs 325 crore will be sanctioned by the government for the establishment of the college.
Meanwhile, the Sonam Norboo Memorial (SNM) hospital at Leh already has 300 beds, which will now be upgraded to 500 beds, as per the requirements of the Medical Council of India (MCI). A new emergency, OPD and the diagnostic block will also be constructed within the hospital premises, for which the DPR is being prepared.
