Give weekly off, stress counselling, yoga sessions: NMC dictum to medical colleges to manage resident doctors' mental health
Overview
Showing deep concern for the Mental Health and well-being of Post Graduate Medical Students, the apex Medical regulator, the National Medical Commission has recently directed all medical colleges and institutions providing PG medical training to address the issues to PG medicos ( resident Doctors). For the same, the medical colleges have now been directed to take numerous steps which range from ensuring adequate rest, weekly off, counseling for those who are under stress, arranging Yoga sessions on a regular basis, sanctioning leave when required, and respecting their dignity by providing a positive conducive working environment. The institutions have been further directed that a committee may be constituted to look into the complaints/grievances including anonymous complaints/grievances which may be submitted by PG students either through mail or received in a drop box specially placed for this purpose.
