Prime Minister Narendra Modi says that India will be producing a record number of doctors soon
PM Narendra Modi said that India will be producing a record number of doctors in the upcoming decade because of the central government’s policy of setting up at least one medical college in each district.

This muti-speciality hospital has been set up by the Leuva Patel community.

He went on to say, “Now the state has one AIIMS and over three dozen medical colleges. Earlier, only 1,000 students used to get admission in medical colleges of Gujarat, now around 6,000 students get admission in these colleges.”
