Abstract

India is rapidly opening new medical colleges. Prime minister Mr. Modi recently reiterated one medical college per district vision. India has 739 districts. Many cities have 3-5 medical colleges. So finally India may end up with something like 800-900 or medical colleges and about 160,000 medical seats if we assume each college to have average of 200 MBBS seats. Many of these colleges will be in rural India, which is good. The quality of health care delivery will improve if there is a medical college in a district.
