National Medical Commission seeks review of Andhra Pradesh HC order in foreign medical graduates case
VIJAYAWADA: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has reiterated that the quality of medical education cannot be compromised, particularly in the case of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) whose clinical training was disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. In a detailed seven-page clarification issued to the Andhra Pradesh government on August 7, the NMC emphasised that physical, on-site study of clinical courses is irreplaceable and cannot be substituted with online classes. The clarification came in the wake of two recent Andhra Pradesh High Court verdicts that have caused uncertainty over the mandatory internship period for FMGs. 'Upholding rigor of medical training is essential' The first judgment, delivered on July 9, directed the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council (APMC) to grant permanent registration to FMG Katta Vamsi within a month, even without confirmation from the Indian Embassy regarding the authenticity of his Kyrgyzstan medical degree. The second verdict, on August 4, ordered APMC to issue speaking orders for four FMG petitioners in compliance with NMC norms. Following these rulings, Special Chief Secretary (Health) M.T. Krishna Babu, after consultations with Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav, sought clarifications from the NMC on key issues, including the required duration of physical, on-site study to compensate for time lost to online classes during the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. The details to be included in the compensation study certificate issued by foreign institutions. The state government also asked whether the standard course duration must be extended to make up for online study.

₹194 crore sanctioned for construction of 100 PHCs across State: A.P. Health Minister
As part of strengthening the rural healthcare and infrastructure, the State government has sanctioned ₹194 crore for the construction of 100 new primary health centres (PHCs) across Andhra Pradesh. The move will be grounded under the supervision of the Roads and Buildings (R&B) Department, said Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav on Monday. Addressing a gathering after inaugurating a newly constructed village health clinic (VHC) in Edigapalli village of Karveti Nagaram mandal in Gangadhara Nellore Assembly constituency, the Minister highlighted that the concept of VHCs were part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2017 vision to create accessible medical care at the grassroots level. These clinics would be established with financial assistance from the 15th Finance Commission and would be developed to offer diagnostic and treatment services close to people's homes. Each VHC will be provided with Community Health Officers, Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), and Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs). The VHCs would also benefit the rural people with 14 essential diagnostic tests and 105 varieties of free medicines. The Minister stated that under the Non-Communicable Diseases 3.0 (NCD 3.0) survey, the target group aged 18 years and above are being screened for conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiac ailments, and cancer. This would allow early intervention and timely treatment, he added. Mr. Yadav highlighted the success of the ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) initiative, and said that life-saving cardiac injections worth ₹45,000 are being supplied free of cost during emergencies. This initiative has directly helped to save 3,918 lives out of 3,200 patients admitted with serious heart-related complications. Mr. Yadav said that the Central government had okayed 10,032 VHCs for A.P., with funds earmarked from the 14th and 15th Finance Commissions. Alleging misuse of funds meant for the health infrastructure during previous the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy regime, the Minister said that the gross neglect of the sector led to the construction of only 3,000 clinics instead of the targeted number. Senior officials of the Medical and Health Department, Panchayat Raj and R&B, and leaders of the coalition parties from all over Chittoor and Tirupati districts took part in the event.
