Imphal, November 08 2020:
South East Asia Cultural Organisation (SEACO) has urged the State Government to expedite the process to increase the State quota of MBB S seats by 50 more, which has been already approved by the Centre.
At present Manipur has a quota of 100 MBBS seat.
SEACO stated that the ratio for doctors and patients is poor and the number of doctors in the State is very less when compared with the total population thereby causing discontentment among the people in times of need.
The present State quota for MBBs is 100 only which is unsuitable when compared with the population of the 16 districts of Manipur.
Therefore, the Government should expedite the process to increase the already approved additional 50 seats in the interest of the State else it will be wasted every year, it added.
