Supreme Court issues notice on pleas seeking stipend for FMG internship
The issue of non-payment of stipends to the Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) during their internship has been raised once again before the Apex Court as the medicos filed a plea seeking regular monthly stipends for medical graduates from abroad pursuing compulsory internships at different government medical colleges, teaching and non-teaching institutes in Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
While considering the pleas, the Supreme Court bench on Monday issued notice to 11 Government Medical Colleges, 6 teaching and non-teaching hospitals, the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), the Directorate of Health Services, the Kerala State Medical Council, the Kerala Government, and the National Medical Commission (NMC).
