The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has given its nod for the operationalisation of Ladakh’s first Government Medical College in Leh, from the academic year 2027-28, following the intervention of Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena.
The approval paves the way for initiating recruitment against 103 sanctioned regular posts in a phased manner, in accordance with academic requirements. The development marks a significant step towards fulfilling the long-standing aspiration of the people of Ladakh for access to quality medical education within the Union Territory.
The Government Medical College in Leh would expand opportunities for students aspiring to pursue medical education, strengthen clinical training facilities and contribute to the long-term development of healthcare services in Ladakh.
