"Assam will soon become the country's hub for medical education. We are on our way to have 2,000 MBBS seats and over 1,000 PG Seats. Three newly built medical colleges have began their academic sessions simultaneously," he had said on X.

"With the increase in the MBBS seats, it also means that we will have more doctors passing out every year and they will be posted in government hospitals in rural areas. It will boost the overall healthcare system of the state," added the CM.
