Following the Supreme Court's recent order regarding the non-payment of stipends to MBBS interns, the Union Health Ministry has now issued directives to the National Medical Commission (NMC) to examine the issue of non-payment of stipends by medical colleges and institutions to their interns and postgraduates.
This development comes after Health Activist Dr. KV Babu wrote to the Union Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava on November 3 and referred to the Supreme Court order dated 28.10.2025.
