Information about this course has been formally communicated to all key departments of the Government of Maharashtra, including the Hon’ble Chief Minister and His Excellency the Governor. As no objections were raised by any of the major departments, the course has been initiated in Nagpur, Maharashtra.
The DCMS & Surgery program is a transformative initiative in the field of medical education and rural healthcare. It is designed to train qualified practitioners in delivering essential medical services and performing minor surgical procedures. The program aims to improve access to quality healthcare in rural and underserved areas by equipping practitioners with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the healthcare needs of these communities.
By addressing critical gaps in rural healthcare infrastructure, this initiative contributes significantly to enhancing India’s overall healthcare landscape and ensuring that high-quality medical services reach the most vulnerable populations.
