SHILLONG: Deputy Chief Minister and in charge of Health and Family Welfare department, Rowell Lyngdoh, has said that the Washington-based Chrysoula Economopoulos, a consultant engaged in advisory services in public-private partnerships (PPP), is conducting a survey of the proposed Shillong Medical College site at Jhalupara currently housing the Reid Chest (TB) Hospital.

Speaking to The Shillong Times, Lyngdoh said, “The consultancy has to place the survey report before the Government for approval.” The College will house over 500 beds and cater to over 200,000 patients every year.

To make way for the proposed hospital, the State Government has decided to shift the Reid Chest (TB) Hospital to Mawdiangdiang for which a plot of land has been allotted by the Urban Affairs department.

“A tender has been floated for the construction of the TB Hospital at Mawdiangdiang,” the Health Minister informed.

The State Government is hopeful of admitting the first batch of medical students by May 2017. Out of the 100 medical seats 40 would be reserved for students from Meghalaya.
