Imphal, Aug 17 : Manipur Governor Gurbhachan Jagat today inaugurated the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) at Porompat, Imphal East. The JNIMS will impart both Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate education to medical students and deliver high-quality healthcare services to the patients. Speaking on the occasion, the Governor appealed to the government to start planning from now so that attractive packages could be offered to the Graduate and Post-Graduate students of the institute.
The JNIMS would also be functioning as a hospital with advanced systems of diagnosis and treatment and the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Imphal, would also offer consultancy services through its faculty.
''Even after the passage of more than 60 years of the Independence, we have not been able to provide quality healthcare services to all of our citizens, especially the rural poor,'' Mr Jagat said.
''We have some systems in place, but we do not have willing doctors to go and serve in the difficult areas,'' he said and appealed to the government to provide a scheme of incentives to the doctors willing to serve in these areas.
Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh, state Health Minister Ph Parijat and others attended the function.
