Alleging that the medical education programme in the Philippines does not comply with the three major Foreign Medical Graduates Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations 2021, a group of students has sought intervention from the Union Health Ministry and the National Medical Commission (NMC).
The appeal has been addressed to the Union Health Minister, External Affairs Minister, Home Minister, officials of the National Medical Commission (NMC), state medical councils, and the Embassy of India in Manila. It has also been sent to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) officials in the Philippines, including its Legal and International Affairs Directors.
