Tura medical college & hospital will remain a government property, says Meghalaya CM

Mendipathar, May 26 (UNI) Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Monday said that there is a challenge in operationalising the Tura Medical College and Hospital, as recruiting professionals and doctors for the college will be difficult due to a lack of qualified professionals within the state.
“The government would like to clarify that the Tura Medical College and Hospital will remain a "government property," while the management of the college will be by a private entity,” the Chief Minister said, addressing a gathering at Mendipathar in North Garo Hills district.
The Chief Minster’s statement followed after the Leader of Opposition Dr. Mukul Sangma came down on the NPP-led coalition government for its decision to privatise the Tura medical college and threatened to launch a protest against it if the Conrad Sangma-led government fails to rescind its decision.
