The assurances came during a meeting in New Delhi with a Kerala delegation led by State Health Minister K. Muraleedharan. According to the Kerala Minister, Nadda expressed concern that despite infrastructure worth hundreds of crores being created nearly a decade ago, the K. Karunakaran Memorial Medical College had failed to commence MBBS admissions. Calling the delay criminal negligence, the Union Minister reportedly observed that nearly 1,100 students could have benefited from medical education had admissions begun on time. Beyond medical education, Nadda assured Kerala of Central support for several key healthcare initiatives. According to Minister Muraleedharan, Nadda appreciated Kerala’s healthcare delivery system and described the meeting as cordial, with the Union Minister responding positively to the state’s demands.
