India’s
Health Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad wants Indian medical students to sign a bond
, before going to USA , that they will return to India after finishing their
higher studies
Why
?
Because
India is short of doctors
He
is right. Here are figures for numbers of doctors per 10,000 population ( 2000
– 2010 ), published in World Health Statistics – 2011:
Ø
India …………………… 6.0
Ø
China …………………. 14.2
Ø
UK ………………………. 27.4
Ø
USA ……………………
26.7
Question
:
Will
forcing 1,000 medical students [ who do not return after higher studies abroad
every year ], make a drop of difference to our Ocean of Ill-health ?
No
doubt , Minister of Health knows best !
With
regards
hemen parekh

All = Peace
on Earth
