100-day action plan to strengthen functioning of Palakkad medical college

Kerala's health minister K.A. Thulasi has announced a comprehensive 100-day initiative aimed at improving operations at Palakkad Medical College. The plan prioritizes addressing staffing shortages by rapidly recruiting qualified personnel for both academic and administrative positions that have remained unfilled.

The minister emphasized that swift action would be taken to resolve these vacancies, which have been hampering the institution's capacity to deliver quality medical education and patient care services.

Addressing staff shortages at medical colleges is critical for ensuring adequate healthcare training, patient safety, and institutional effectiveness in a region's healthcare system.
