Parliamentary Committee recommends Government to come up with some advisory to dissuade students from pursuing medical education abroad
The Committee has taken note of the fact that with the expansion of the number of medical colleges in India, the reliance on Foreign Medical Graduates to maintain the doctor to population ratio may dwindle in the near future. Moreover, the Committee has also come across the fact that given the high standards of medical education in India, several FMGs are unable to clear the examination process despite several attempts. Given the future scenario, the Committee recommends that the Government take a serious view on this issue and come up with some advisories to dissuade students from pursing medical education abroad.
