She further said that JMI needs government’s support for establishing a medical college-cum-hospital as there is no government hospital in the vicinity of the university. She hoped that the Ministry of Education will look into this long impending demand of the university in near future. Staff of the university and the people living in nearby areas are feeling the need for a government hospital much particularly during Covid time.
