  • The College of Nursing grounds, hostel and administrative areas have been in urgent need of upkeep and repairs for several years;
  • The hospital (CMCHL) itself and the College have no designated budget for repair and upkeep of the building and grounds; and
  • The Board (LCMCB) raised funds specifically for the College of Nursing to make the needed repairs in 2021 and there are still $7,000 remaining of what was raised.
  • The Nursing College shall develop a plan to fund the yearly maintenance of the buildings and grounds.  The mechanism of this plan will be left to the College, either by an additional fee added to student fees or through other fund raising.  The LCMC Board would like to see this plan within the next 4 months and it must be a part of the yearly budget for repairs, upkeep and renovation.  This will be taken into consideration when future funding requests are evaluated.

Project for 2025:

  1.  The College of Nursing is moving forward with the increase of seats to 100 per year for the GNM and BSc(N) courses, and there are plans for the renovation of two classrooms (Classroom No. 3 and Classroom No. 4) and the Nursing Foundation Laboratory, including the procurement of essential training equipment such as Manikins.
  • The CMC Hospital does not have funds budgeted for this kind of expansion.
  • These upgrades will ensure high-quality education and training for nursing students at CMCHL aligning with current academic and clinical standards.

The Rs. 33,67,000 is equal to $38,617.

  • The Finance Committee of the LCMCB determined to pay 90% of the required amount, $34,755 or Rs. 29,54,200; the generosity of two Board members’ donations facilitating this amount.  The remainder is to be raised by CMCLH.
