He revealed that many have given their full efforts and worked hard to get the sanctioning of 6 new government medical colleges in TN.
It must be noted that the state has planned to apply for 3 more medical colleges in places like Krishnagiri, Nagapattinam, and Tiruvallur. The land finalizing process for these colleges has been going on. By this, another 450 medical seats would be added and tertiary care hospitals would be created in the districts.

It was later pointed out by a senior official that TN must recruit 600 more doctors, 300 staff nurses, paramedics, and administrative staff. He added that it would not be possible to open all the new medical colleges in 2020. He concluded that the funds from the center would be very important. The point that must not be forgotten is in August 2019 cabinet committee on economic affairs had given approval in setting up 75 government medical colleges by 2021-22.
To increase the number of medical colleges, the center has proposed to partially fund for the project. It is worthy to note that TN that has 23 medical colleges proposed medical colleges in 6 un-served areas.
