Crisis over PG admissions: IMA seeks PM Modi to step in
Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Thursday sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention in resolving the crisis regarding the delay in NEET-PG 2021 counselling and the subsequent strike of resident doctors.
The association also pointed out the necessity of arranging sufficient manpower in health sectors to face a possible third wave of COVID infections.
When the exam was postponed in January 2021, IMA demanded, considering that NEET PG exams are usually conducted to select Resident doctors for working as frontline warriors to face covid patients the exam should not be postponed on the pretext of Covid. "As the NEET PG Exam was not held in January 2021, the aggressive 2nd wave was handled by limited manpower of doctors and resulted in the loss of more than 2000 Nobel professional souls in the Covid war. At that time 1,60,000 doctors were appearing for the exams and waiting for the examination to be held relentlessly for the 8 months, without involving in the Covid care", read the statement.
