Centre plans to introduce $10,000 fee to recognize foreign medical courses

New Delhi: India's National Medical Commission (NMC), the country's apex medical education regulator, has proposed to overhaul rules and introduce a fee to recognize medical courses offered by universities abroad. Under its new draft rules, foreign universities or accreditation agencies will need to pay the NMC a fee of $10,000 ( ₹ 8.6 lakh) for each application seeking recognition by India of a medical course conducted by them. 'Any foreign authority in any country outside India, entrusted with the recognition shall remit $10,000 (US dollars ten thousand only) per qualification as fees to the Commission while submitting its application in a proforma,' the NMC said in a draft notification, amending a clause of the National Medical Commission (Recognition of Medical Qualification) regulations. The development is significant given that 25,000 Indian students go abroad annually to pursue a medical degree, with the preferred countries being Russia, China, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan. These graduate doctors can practise in India only if the NMC recognizes their medical degree. Charging fees for recognition of foreign medical courses is common globally, including in the US, Canada and the UK. Given the limited number of 1.1 lakh MBBS seats in India, and about 2.5 million applicants vying for them, overseas medical education becomes the second choice for many. 'The NMC is doing this to ensure high medical standards in India. The fee helps in formalizing and streamlining the recognition process and ensuring only top-quality foreign qualifications are recognized,' an official familiar with the matter said. 'This amendment particularly impacts the 20,000-25,000 Indian students who study MBBS abroad annually.' The cost of studying medicine in Russia, China, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan ranges from ₹ 18 lakh to ₹ 48 lakh, depending on the course duration (5-6 years), university, city, and living expenses. International bodies such as the World Federation for Medical Education charge about $60,000 to recognize national accrediting agencies. The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates in the US charges various fees to certify international medical graduates. Mint reported earlier that the government recently appointed a chairman and other key members to fill vacancies in four NMC boards that oversee the functioning of medical colleges in India. Queries sent to the health ministry spokesperson remained unanswered till press time.

‘Med error didn't hit patient, no payout'

Sabita Rastogi had approach-ed the National Consumer Commission against Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, New Delhi, and Dr Ritabh Kumar, a senior orthopaedic consultant. Her grievance was regarding the surgery for correction of a deformity known as Hallux Valgus (or Bunion Deformity), which affected both her feet. After regaining consciousness, she complained that her big toe had not been corrected; the second toe was elevated and deviating; and there was complete numbness in her left foot. She was informed that these were temporary effects due to incision and anaesthesia. She was discharged after two days before the wounds had healed. Subsequently, a proper dressing was done during followup, but Rastogi claimed that her condition had worsened due to fluid leakage and crusted fluid around the scars. She remained in pain for months and was dependent on painkillers due to the screw implanted in her joint, which continued to cause distress until it was eventually removed by another specialist. She also pointed out that negligence was clear as her blood group was recorded as O +ve even though it was O -ve. So she alleged negligence and deficiency in service. The hospital and the surgeon denied the allegations, stating that accepted medical practices had been followed while conducting the procedure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The intended correction was limited only to the big toe, and had been achieved.

New National Medical Commission chairperson calls for affordable private medical education

Coordinated teamwork, a uniform licensing process for doctors across India, and improving the perception of the National Medical Commission (NMC) were among the priority areas for work for the statutory body, Abhijat Sheth, the newly appointed Chairperson of the Commission, told The Hindu in an exclusive interview. Dr. Seth's appointment comes amid controversies and a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged corruption in the process of securing approvals for private medical colleges. Stating that he wouldn't be able to comment on the CBI probe into alleged bribery, Dr. Seth, however, said that the current trend of 'MBBS seat booking' costing many lakhs of rupees at several private medical colleges was a matter of concern. 'What exchange is taking place (between students and medical college authorities) is very difficult to confirm for the Commission. This is a matter for investigating agencies to probe,' he said, adding that the high cost of an MBBS programme, the basic medical undergraduate degree in India, in a private institution could be because quality in education doesn't come cheap. 'Most of us don't look at the cost incurred by the government sector to educate a doctor. When compared to that quality, (the cost of) private education seems expensive,' Dr. Sheth said. 'This is all a matter of perception. Yes, the perception is that the fee is very high…but I'm sure that we, as a team, will be able to, over time, see how best we can optimise this,' he said. The fee structure and cost must be controlled to a level that is comfortable to an average family, he added. 'We want the private medical institutes to survive, and we want that education is affordable,' he said. India has many well-developed government medical institutions with huge capacity for student intake, Dr. Sheth said. 'We must ensure that they are working at their full capacity. The Central government has brought in many initiatives to increase medical seats, and to ensure that their organisations are able to work at full capacity for this. Currently, we feel that we aren't using these institutes to their full capacity — this is an area we need to explore,' the NMC Chairperson said. In India, only 40% of the medical services sector — education, diagnostic services, and treatment — is with the government, Dr. Sheth said, speaking of the private sector's role in healthcare. 'So, (in) training doctors to use the latest and new technology, etc., we have to bring in the private sector. For this, we must work closely with them as partners in the healthcare ecosystem. The Commission is looking at greater collaboration and commitment from the private sector. This is a resource which we would like to engage and harness,' he said. 'They (private medical facilities) have huge learning resources with them. We are actively looking at how best to integrate them,' he added.

'Also, all the unnecessary lengthy procedures and processes are to be minimised. This must be replaced with coordinated and sustained teamwork,' Dr. Sheth said.
