The city will have one more government-run medical college from this academic session (2024-25). It will be run at the Gokuldas Tejpal (G T) Hospital / Cama & Albless Hospital premises in south Mumbai. To begin with, 50 students will be admitted this year. The intake will double from the next session.

The announcement was made by Medical Education Minister Hasan Mushrif, on Thursday. Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar, who had been pursuing the issue with the government for a long time, said that the college was approved in 2012 by the state government. The National Medical Commission granted its permission recently after the state fulfilled all conditions for running a medical college.
