65 Medical Colleges Yet to Submit MBBS Intern Stipend Details to NMC: RTI
Around 65 medical colleges across the country have not submitted details of stipends paid to MBBS interns to the National Medical Commission (NMC), according to a recent RTI reply from the Union Health Ministry.
The commission has yet to take action against these defaulting colleges.
The information came to light through an RTI response from the Health Ministry dated January 19. The ministry clarified that, as per the Supreme Court’s directions, the compilation of undergraduate internship stipend details is to be done by the Under-Graduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB), a part of the NMC. However, about 65 colleges have still not complied and have failed to submit the required data in the last six months.
