Should Erode Get Its Own Medical College? Residents Are Debating This Hard
Erode is the 8th largest city in Tamil Nadu. It has a population of over 6 lakh. Yet the nearest government medical college is 70 km away in Salem or 90 km in Coimbatore. After the TVK budget announced district-level cancer hospitals and telemedicine networks, many Erode residents are asking a bigger question: 💬 Why doesn't Erode have its own government medical college? Currently, medical emergencies often require hour-long ambulance rides. Patients with serious conditions lose precious time. And Erode's aspiring doctors have no local institution to aim for. The TVK government's ₹23,357 crore healthcare budget has room — if political will exists. 🗳️ Should Erode be on the list for Tamil Nadu's next government medical college? Comment with YES or NO — and tell us why. Your voice shapes civic priorities.
