Here are the top health news for the day:
Granting relief to a doctor who had to leave his postgraduate studies midway after the violence erupted in Manipur, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed Bundelkhand Medical College to return the original documents to him within 7 days.
Hailing from Imphal, the doctor cleared the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) exam in 2021 and was admitted to an MD degree course at Bundelkhand Medical College, which is located approximately 170 km away from Bhopal.
Despite completing their postgraduate degrees, the doctors in 13 different specialities in Rajasthan are unable to contribute to the State public health sector as the Rajasthan Government has not created any posts of junior specialists, senior specialists, and principal specialities in those specialities in its hospitals.
These specialties include biochemistry, radiation oncology, transfusion medicine, preventive and social medicine, emergency medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, palliative medicine, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, nuclear medicine, family medicine, and hospital administration.
