In recent times, the Assam government is all geared up to strengthen its health care system. Keshab Mahanta, the state health and family welfare minister recently said that the medical infrastructure was not as par with the number of patients in the government medical colleges (GMC) and hence, from November 24 onwards, GMCs in Assam are doing double shifts. Out-patient departments (OPDs) are now functional from 8 am to 10 pm. Earlier, they were functioning only from 8 am to 3 pm.
