Doctors meet NMC officials to discuss various issues faced by FMGs

Doctors representing foreign medical graduates (FMGs) recently met the National Medical Commission (NMC) officials to discuss various issues faced by medical graduates from abroad. These issues include the limited number of available internship seats for the FMGs, the issue of non-payment of stipend to the FMG Interns and the opposition against the 3-year internship rule.
Sharing about the meeting with NMC, the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) mentioned on X (formerly Twitter), "On a war footing now, a delegation representing #FMG interests met with officials at @NMC_IND today. Key points raised: • #Stipend for interns (currently none) •Absorption of students into various teaching and non-teaching hospitals of states. (Currently there are waiting lists for starting internship!) • Rethinking the merits and demerits of 3 year internship for a special batch of students. Hoping for a positive response from the authorities. #FMG have suffered and faced enormous challenges & discrimination. Some humanitarian approach is need of the hour."
