SC directs 5 Jharkhand Medical Colleges to pay Rs 25K stipend to FMG interns
The Supreme Court of India has directed five medical colleges in Jharkhand to pay a stipend of Rs 25,000 per month to Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) completing their internships at these institutions.
The order, issued while hearing writ petitions filed by FMG interns, mandates that they be compensated at par with Indian Medical Graduate (MBBS) interns in accordance with the National Medical Commission (NMC) circular issued on July 12, 2023. The court also warned that failure to implement the NMC directive could lead to adverse action against the concerned medical colleges and universities.
