Medical seats available not enough for students: Prez Kovind
Stating that the number of seats available in medical colleges in the nation was "highly inadequate", President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday said the issue needs to be addressed "very urgently". About 67,000 undergraduate medical seats were available for the Indian population of 1.3 billion people, he added. Doctors face an "unrealistically high" amount of pressure, the President further said.
