The association pointed out that while the medical fraternity stands together in the national effort to stop the on-going COVID-19 epidemic and the imposition of lockdown all over the country is a welcome and much-needed measure to stop the transmission of the virus, our country needs all hands on deck to combat the virus.
"Adequate deployment of manpower in healthcare services is the need of the hour. The Final year students are awaiting their result to be declared to contribute to the national response to COVID-19 and their addition to the workforce will be a soon for the respective Hospitals in providing efficient patient care in this epidemic."
Since the Nation is dealing with a crisis, the Result of the Final year MBBS Students needs to be declared urgently to boost up the healthcare workforce, the association stressed.
In the case of the students of UCMS, FORDA suggested that an Internal Assessment can be conducted in Paediatrics and the process of compilation and declaration of result of all the 3 Medical Colleges can be fast-tracked.
