On February 22, 2023, the National Medical Commission (NMC) issued a Public Notice containing an updated state- list of recognized and approved Medical Colleges/Institutions, as well as the number of Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) seats for Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) in India. However, the Commission has received numerous representations and inquiries regarding the inclusion of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the said list for FMGs’ twelve-month internship in India. After much deliberation, the Commission determined that AIIMS does not fall under its scope and, as a result, should be removed from its list. In light of the foregoing, the State Medical Councils are urged not to assign any FMGs to AIIMS for the conduct of an internship in India.

What is CRMI (Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship)?

The Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) is a one-year internship program required of all medical graduates in India once they earn their MBBS degree. The internship seeks to provide medical graduates with practical experience in a variety of fields such as medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and other specializations.

About NMC

The National Medical Commission is a regulatory organization created by the Indian government in accordance with the National Medical Commission Act of 2019. It took over from the Medical Council of India (MCI) and is in charge of medical education, training, and practice in India. The Commission is also in charge of maintaining medical education standards and ensuring the availability of qualified medical professionals in the country.

About AIIMS

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is a network of autonomous public medical colleges in India that provide undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. AIIMS was founded in 1956 and is widely regarded as the country’s preeminent institute of medical education and research.

 

Why was AIIMS left off the list of Medical Colleges/Institutions in India that offer FMG Internships?

Following numerous representations and inquiries regarding the inclusion of AIIMS in the updated list of recognised and approved Medical Colleges/Institutions for FMG Internship in India, the National Medical Commission deliberated on the matter and determined that AIIMS does not fall under its purview. As a result, AIIMS should be removed from the Commission’s list. As a result, all State Medical Councils have been asked NOT to assign any FMGs to AIIMS for the purpose of conducting an internship in India.

What are the ramifications of omitting AIIMS from the list of Medical Colleges/Institutions in India for FMG Internship?

Because AIIMS is not on the list of recognised and approved Medical Colleges/Institutes for FMG Internship in India, FMGs will be unable to apply for internships at AIIMS. This may limit the options accessible to FMGs seeking practical medical experience in India. However, there are numerous other recognised and approved Medical Colleges/Institutions in India where FMGs can complete their internship.

How do FMGs apply for internships in India’s recognised and approved Medical Colleges/Institutions?

FMGs interested in applying for internships at recognised and approved Medical Colleges/Institutions in India may visit the National Medical Commission’s website for details on the application procedure and eligibility criteria.

 

In India, the Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS) program is an undergraduate study that instructs students in the Unani medical system, one of the traditional forms of medicine. This medical system, which combines Arabic, Persian, and Greek medicine, is founded on the teachings of the Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen. The AYUSH ministry of the Indian government recognizes the Unani system of medicine, which is becoming more and more well-liked as an alternative to conventional medical care.

 

The BUMS program’s participants will acquire an in-depth understanding of the Unani medical system. The 5.5-year course spans 4.5 years of classroom instruction and 1 year of practical internship. One must have passed their 10+2 exam or any other exam that is equivalent in order to be eligible for this course.

 

The foundation of the Unani medical system is the idea of balance, which holds that the harmony of the body’s four humors—blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile—is necessary for optimal health. The Unani method places a strong emphasis on a person’s overall health and works to enhance the body’s innate ability to cure itself.

 

The Unani medical system treats illnesses with natural cures such as herbs, minerals, and animal products. A patient’s health can also be improved by unani medicine practitioners through dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Numerous illnesses, including diabetes, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and skin conditions, can be successfully treated by the Unani medical system.

 

Students who successfully complete the BUMS program can practice Hakimiyya or Unani medicine. Additionally, they can continue their education and work in the field as doctors, researchers, and teachers. There is a great need for competent and experienced individuals in the field of unani medicine because there is so much room for study and development in this area.

 

The National Board of Examinations’ NEET-UG Entrance Test, which is required for admission to the BUMS program, is followed by counseling based on exam results. The counseling process is conducted by the Ayush Admissions Central Counseling Committee (AACCC) of the Ministry of Ayush, Government of India. The Union Government of India’s Department of AYUSH oversees AYUSH education in the nation.

 

The cost of pursuing a BUMS degree varies by institution and can be anywhere between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 7,000,000. The 5.5-year course spans 4.5 years of classroom instruction and 1 year of practical internship. After completing the course, doctors have two options: either they find employment or they continue their education by enrolling in one of the programs approved by the Ministry of Ayush, such as a Master of Medicine in Unani or a Doctor of Medicine.

 

Clinical practice, academia, research, management, and administration, as well as the production of pharmaceuticals, are among the many job choices available to BUMS graduates. Depending on the position, sector, and level of expertise, BUMS graduates can expect to make an average beginning salary of between Rs. 5 lakhs and Rs. 12 lakhs annually.

The enactment of the Right to Health Act in Rajasthan, India, is a significant step towards ensuring that all residents of the state have access to healthcare as a fundamental right. It is a commendable move that can go a long way in improving the health outcomes of the people in the state. However, the mere enactment of the law is not enough. The next step should be to define what the right to health means and what it entails.

 

Specifically, a formal definition of the right to health should be created to determine whether it guarantees medical care for a set of conditions at the individual level or the assurance of a set of enablers that together would yield outcomes such as the absence of disease and physical, mental, and social well-being. The definition of the right to health should be guided by the principles of universality, equity, and accountability. The government should ensure that all residents of the state, irrespective of their economic and social status, have access to essential health services.

 

Additionally, there should be a standardized, auditable, and reimbursable basket of emergency conditions that require a time-sensitive, life-saving response at the first healthcare facility possible. This will require engaging healthcare professionals and healthcare establishments in the state, irrespective of their public or private nature, to deliver life-saving, morbidity-limiting, first-point-of-care services. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the emergency health needs of the people in the state. Emergency services should be accessible and affordable to all residents of the state.

 

Furthermore, Rajasthan’s health infrastructure should be able to address all other elective and non-emergency needs of its resident population, based on guidance from the treatment protocol wing of the State Health Authority. National priority programs funded by the Central government, such as TB or blindness control programs, should be integrated into the revamped delivery network by the logistics wing, making it an integrated one rather than being fractured along funding lines. This will ensure that the healthcare delivery system in the state is efficient and effective.

 

To achieve these objectives, it will be essential to engage counterparts in the ministries of roadways, telecommunications, and law enforcement, among others, to ensure there are accountable expenditures. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the health needs of the people in the state. Healthcare professionals should be trained and equipped to provide quality health services to people. The government should also ensure that there are adequate incentives for healthcare professionals to work in the state.

Overall, the Rajasthan Model of Public Health should aim to provide quality assured mortality-preventing and morbidity-mitigating first-level services for a range of conditions while addressing all other elective and non-emergency healthcare needs of its resident population. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the health needs of the people in the state. Healthcare professionals should be trained and equipped to provide quality health services to people. The government should also ensure adequate incentives for healthcare professionals to work in the state.

 

In conclusion, the Right to Health Act in Rajasthan, India, is a step in the right direction towards ensuring that all residents of the state have access to healthcare as a fundamental right. However, there is a need to define what the right to health means and what it entails. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the health needs of the people in the state. Healthcare professionals should be trained and equipped to provide quality health services to people. The government should also ensure that there are adequate incentives for healthcare professionals to work in the state. With these measures in place, the healthcare delivery system in Rajasthan can be transformed to provide quality health services to all its residents.
