Health Minister Nadda announced that Himachal Pradesh will receive an additional 320 postgraduate medical seats, expanding training capacity in the state.
Health Minister Shri Ramdas Naik Nadda disclosed that the state of Himachal Pradesh will be allotted 320 additional postgraduate (PG) medical seats. The announcement was made during a recent briefing on the expansion of medical education in the region.
The new seats are expected to be distributed among the existing medical colleges in the state, enhancing their capacity to train specialist doctors. Authorities have not released a detailed breakdown of how the seats will be allocated across institutions.
