Wayanad, Jul 6: DM Education and Research Foundation (DMERF), headed by Dr Azad Moopen, has come forward to handover DM WIMS Medical College, Nursing and Pharmacy Colleges and its associated institutions in Wayanad to the Kerala Government.
According to Azad Moopen, Managing Trustee, DMERF, the Kerala Government has been deliberating to set up a medical college in the area over the last 7-8 years to address the challenges being faced by the local population due to lack of local availability of advanced healthcare facilities under the government sector.
The handover by DMERF would address the Government's need. DM WIMS is one of the few NABH accredited medical colleges in the country, he said.
The DM WIMS Medical College and its associated institutions were established by the DMERF Trust 10 years ago to help the backward community of the district.
Run in a charitable manner, the medical college has a capacity of 150 seats and has seen two batches of doctors graduate from the institution. With a total built up area of 14 lakh sq feet, it also has a 700-bed super-specialty hospital catering to the local community and helping in training healthcare professionals, a 100-bed specialty hospital, a pharmacy college, and a nursing college.
A new medical college by the government will require substantial investments and minimum of 5 years to become functional. “We think that DM WIMS can cater to the requirement of the government and setting up another medical college might not be required to cater to the existing population,” he said.
Moopen also announced a donation of Rs 250 crore out of the total investment in the institutions to the government to provide treatment to the needy population in the backward, landlocked district and to train good quality doctors from the State.

Communal ideology was kept in the freezer for more than 70 years by Nehru and Congress. Because of its Secular credentials, India got good name and fame in the world. Also India is developed much better than its neigbors under the Congress rule. Now the Communal forces are started to come out but mean time it is out dated. People do not want division in the name of religion and silly politics. We are not going to achieve anything by commenting on history nor we cannot blame any one what is happened in the history. What people need is : Good Hospitals, Schools and colleges, Electricity, Jobs, Good Roads - People need peaceful and comfortable life. Not this hell kind of Beef, Mandir Masjid politics. Any party should realize, people will vote for them just by raising these issues, they are only dreaming. Remember people voted Modi for Development not for Hindu Muslim politics. Any governemnt, please concentrate only on providing peaceful and comfortable life for the citizens of India. Nobody interested in Silly politics. Ultimately people will vote only to those who brings developments and non corrupt.
Yes. If you are the real man and have guts reveal the true histoty. Not Chaddi history.
