Karunakaran Memorial Government Medical College, the second medical college in the capital, starting next academic year. The Minister disclosed this following a high-level meeting in New Delhi.

Minister K. Muraleedharan also told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram that the Union Health Minister has assured the sanctioning of an AIIMS institute for Kerala.
