Maharashtra’s initiative to establish 10 new medical colleges and add 1,000 MBBS seats this year faces challenges as the National Medical Commission (NMC) raised concerns about faculty, infrastructure, and equipment during recent inspections.

Issues identified include incomplete hiring, lack of basic infrastructure, and temporary hospital arrangements deemed unfeasible.
