Find out solution for foreign returned medical students : SC

NEW DELHI :

 

THE Supreme Court on Friday directed the Centre and the National Medical Commission (NMC) to find out a solution to accommodate those undergraduate medical students who have returned from foreign countries like Ukraine and China, saying their career will be left in lurch if no solution is found at this stage. A bench of justices B R Gavai and Vikram Nath said if necessary, the Centre may appoint a committee of experts to find a solution to the problem of the students. 

The top court said it hoped the Centre will give due importance to its suggestion and find out a solution to save the career of the students who are an asset of the country. “If no solution is found, their entire career could be left in lurch apart from families put in sufferance.

 

“We find that this is a fit case for solution by experts. We refrain from issuing directions. We request Union of India, in consultation with National Medical Council to find out a solution to address this human problem,” the bench said. 

The top court noted that most of the students have completed their courses but have not been able to undergo their clinical training.
