The National Medical Commission had sanctioned two seats for MS (Ophthalmology) at the Manjeri Government Medical College Hospital, Health Minister Veena George said here on Tuesday.
She said postgraduate courses in ENT would begin this year at the Manjeri MCH. The government was trying to expedite the final approval for the MS (Ophthalmology) course. Though MBBS courses have been taught at the Manjeri MCH since 2013, this is the first time that PG courses are being sanctioned for the institution.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
