Jalandhar, February 15
A surprise inspection was conducted at the Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) by a team from the Medical Council of India (MCI) here today.
The three-member team visited the OPD, wards and conducted a head count of the doctors at the institute. While the first batch of students (2011) at the PCMS is currently undergoing internship at PIMS after passing out last year, it is the third year of the 2014 and second of the 2015 batch of the college.
The institution was in controversy when one of the batches (2013) had been denied approval by the MCI due to technical discrepancies. However, on the orders of the CM, a new committee was constituted to run the institute which brought things on track.
Sources said the team spent several hours at the institute checking the infrastructure and facilities. While the reason of the visit is not known yet, it could be crucial for the upcoming batches of students at the institute.
