As if the NEET and CBSE fiascos were not enough, Delhi’s Foreign Medical Graduate doctors are now the latest victims of bureaucratic apathy. Instead of supporting them, the system is making them wait and struggle for what should be a basic, rightful step in their medical careers.
Why is the government acting so shabbily? Why are qualified doctors being treated like a burden rather than an asset? This is not just poor planning; it is a clear failure of responsibility, and it is costing both the doctors and the healthcare system dearly.
Delhi’s Foreign Medical Graduate doctors are being forced to endure bureaucratic apathy and disrespectful treatment from colleges and hospitals. After spending six long years training to become doctors, they are now being denied their rightful internship opportunities.
Following the Supreme Court’s ruling that Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) must receive stipends equal to those of Indian graduates, many colleges and hospitals have begun restricting or denying FMG seats to avoid the financial burden. In some states, budget constraints have even led to a complete halt in seat allocation.
FMGs are struggling to secure mandatory internship seats mainly because of a severe shortage of clinical slots, delays in state counselling, and the absence of state-level financial approvals. In several states, government medical colleges restrict seat allotments simply because the required funding to support or expand intern capacity has not been approved.
How is it possible that doctors who have already cleared the state licensing exam are left stranded for months because hospitals refuse to fill approved internship posts? This is not just negligence — it is a total administrative collapse.
The Delhi Government, DMC, and NMC must act immediately. Every delayed internship means delayed registration, delayed careers, and delayed access to healthcare professionals for the country.
