Imphal, June 26 2024:
After the tenure of the incumbent JNIMS Director is over, JNIMS Teachers' Association (TA) has made an appeal to appoint the next Director from JNIMS and in adherence of the National Medical Commission's (NMC) guidelines.
Addressing a press conference at JNIMS A Block today, Ningthoujam Kumarjit, general secretary, JNIMS TA shared that the current Director's term in office will end in August of this year.
At this juncture, he appealed the relevant authorities to appoint a competent new Director from JNIMS itself following NMC's guidelines on "seniority cum merit" .
He also cautioned that if the next Director is appointed in violation of NMC's guidelines then the official recognition given to the hospital may be cancelled.
The JNIMS TA general secretary also recalled a June 7 notification issued by the NMC which had placed all details of medical colleges running MBBS courses in public domain, including their faculties, to ensure optimum level of transparency.
Breaking the guidelines in this appointment may pose a risk to the institute and affect the 150 MBBS students and others studying PG courses in various departments, he cautioned.
