The foreign medical graduates (FMGs) undergoing their mandatory internship at ESIC Medical College, Patna, have not received any stipend for the last five months.
Upset over the delay in disbursement of stipend, the medical graduates from abroad today protested inside the medical college hospital and kept the Outpatient Department (OPD) services briefly closed. Around 70-80 such FMGs who are undergoing internship at the medical college participated in the protest. The emergency services remained unaffected and were kept operational.
