 Disappointing with luke warm response of medical UG & PG s  to undergo a one-year stint in rural areas ,Mr. Azad said the government was in discussion with the Medical Council of India for changing the policy to make it mandatory for doctors to serve in rural areas for one year.  Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said in the Lok Sabha on Friday that the Ministry launched a 50 per cent reservation in post-graduate courses for serving MBBS doctors who opted for a three-year stint in rural areas, but it evoked no response. The government's incentives for medical students taking post-graduate entrance examinations too did not find any takers — students who did one year of rural service were to get 10 per cent marks as additional weightage, while those who did three years would get up to 30 per cent additional marks, he said. The health ministry has taken steps in this direction and is offering more salaries as well as 10 per cent extra weigh...

The government on Wednesday (9-5-12) managed to push through a Bill in the   Rajya Sabha   which will provide for a year's extension for the board of governors of the Medical Council of India. The Bill was passed by voice vote and the Opposition decided against pushing for a division. The passage of the  Indian Medical Council (Amendment) Bill  in the Rajya Sabha comes as a relief to the government, especially after its allies Trinamool, which had earlier voted against the Bill in the Lok Sabha, and  DMK  criticised the legislation during the debate on Wednesday.

Prenatal testing for the Thalassemia gene should be made  mandatory. Wh en both parents are Thalassemia minors or carriers, there is a 25% chance of birth of a Thalassemia Major child, 25% chance of a normal child and 50% chance of a Thalassemia Minor child. Patients need regular blood transfusions every three to eight weeks to maintain normal hemoglobin levels. With regular transfusion and removal of iron (chelation therapy), Thalassemics can live and grow into adulthood. If complications are avoided, they can enjoy a productive life. The only curative treatment is bone marrow transplant.

As per Indian Constitution,  Health is in concurrent list that is -"laws can be enacted on health matters both by the central Govt. and the state Govt". H ealth is the subject of state as per indian constitution. But, It is a basic legal principle that a central Act supersedes a state Act if there is a conflict. State medical council has independent authority to recognise a particular post-graduate course valid only in that particular state OR in other states which have a mutual agreement to do so. As per regulations, a university has the authority to conduct such a course without any need for SMC or MCI regulation. That is the reason Annamalai University or some organization ( IMA ) can conduct so many SMC / MCI non-recognised post-graduate courses.  universities or associations may conduct their courses as per their own curriculum but every one must remember, their courses  are  only for enriching the skills like CME programs,but not legally valid ...

The medical education department's decision to increase the number of seats for externs in government colleges like Gandhi and Osmania from 60 to 200 a few years ago has come as a boon for the private college managements. By issuing 50 NOCs, they make a neat Rs 1 crore.  Of the nearly 5,000 MBBS seats in the state, 3,000 seats are under the private sector. Poor patient flow is one of the main reasons why about 35% of the students from private colleges choose to do their internship at the overloaded government hospitals. The hidden agenda is however to evade the strenuous training.  Senior doctors say that the present-day house surgeons don't want to get trained unlike those two to three decades back. They say that today, MBBS is only a prerequisite for post-graduation. Doctors maintained that the demand for setting up of private medical colleges is on an all-time high but when it comes to the quality of training, all the existing colleges fail miserably.  "In one of the...
