Although the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) under the Union Health Ministry recently defended its broader definition of an "Intensivist" citing the scarcity of physician staff with minimum standards of training for critical care delivery, the critical care specialists having NMC recognised degrees are not happy with the explanation.
