Here are the top health news for the day:
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced that the National Eligibility Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 will be conducted on June 15, 2025, in two shifts. The first shift is scheduled from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, and the second from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM.
This decision has sparked a significant backlash among medical aspirants and professionals, primarily due to concerns over the normalization process, a statistical method used to adjust scores across different exam shifts to ensure fairness. Critics argue that this process is flawed, potentially leading to score discrepancies and inaccurate rankings.
A major fire broke out at the Government Medical College (GMC) hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district on Tuesday, which was later brought under control by the fire department.
GMC Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr Shamim Choudhary said all the patients were rescued safely.

In a recent case of ragging at Karnataka Medical College and Research Institute (KMCRI), several first-year medical students were reportedly forced to appear as proxies for their seniors by attending classes and responding to the roll call on their behalf. This alleged form of ragging was uncovered by the institute's assistant professor which resulted in the suspension of 5 final-year students for one month.
The action was taken based on the Anti-Ragging Committee's report, which found the seniors guilty of ragging juniors by forcing them to attend higher classes as proxies. Considering the wrongdoing, the committee recommended that the college take disciplinary action against the seniors.
