Foreign medical graduates seek help to get registered

The Hindu  

Foreign medical graduates have appealed to the Health Ministry for intervention to get their certificate of permanent registration from the respective State Medical Councils without which these doctors cannot work in India, despite having completed their course and subsequent one-year internship. The Federation of Resident Doctors Association has taken up their cause and complained about the disparities in the permanent registration of the foreign medical students post-internship, adopted by many SMCs. States such as Delhi, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have denied or withheld permanent registration for FMGE candidates with one year of internship experience whereas States like Gujarat, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Assam, Orissa, Telangana, Karnataka, amongst others have issued the permanent registration and given post-graduation seats to students. Said FORDA president Dr. Aviral Mathur, “Students who had qualified for the FMGE examination before the NMC notice came in, have been give permanent registration by some SMCs after one year of internship and they have moved on in their career or taken up PG courses as well.
