Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

75 K Medical Seats : a drop in the Ocean

PM Modi Announces Creation of 75k New Medical Seats in the Next Five Years


Extract from the article:

 

In a recent announcement, Prime Minister Modi revealed plans to add 75,000 new medical seats in the next five years.

 

This initiative comes on the heels of a significant increase in medical seats over the past decade, with the total count nearing one lakh.

 

The Union Health Ministry shared that the country has witnessed an 88% rise in medical colleges from 387 in 2014 to 731 presently.

 

My Take:

 

A drop in the Ocean?

 

The idea of Indian medical students signing a bond to return to India after studies abroad, as proposed by Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, to address the doctor shortage resonates with the current scenario.

 

With the expansion of medical seats, India aims to bridge the gap in healthcare professionals. This proactive step aligns with the concept of nurturing domestic talent to cater to national needs, reflecting a strategic move to bolster the healthcare sector.

 

Call to Action:

 

 

To the Union Health Ministry and educational authorities, I urge a continued focus on not just expanding medical seats but also ensuring the quality of education and training provided. It's essential to equip these future healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and resources to address the diverse healthcare needs of the populace effectively.
