Russia and Ukraine conflict for 5 months. Nearly 20,000 Indian medical students who withdrew from Wu were angry: may face rebuilding, or transfer to other countries

After the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, nearly 20,000 Indian medical students studying in Wu were forced to abandon their studies and evacuated them. It is reported that Indian students account for about a quarter of the 76,000 foreign students in Ukraine, and most of them are studying medicine.

After returning to China, these Indian medical students and their parents have repeatedly called on the authorities to help and place them to Indian medical schools, but the Indian authorities have not made a decision in the past four months.

↑ Indian medical students have previously protested many times before

According to reports, recently, some Indian medical students and parents protested in New Delhi, asking for the enrollment qualifications of Indian public medical schools to continue their studies. It is reported that about 5,000 people said that they would participate in protests and the event will last until July 27.

Being refused to transfer or provided accommodation, previously called for protests many times

Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Indian government has evacuated about 18,000 medical students from Ukraine, and a considerable part of them are fresh graduates close to their studies. According to the relevant regulations of India, medical students studying abroad need to conduct a year -long compulsory clinical practice training after completing academic courses in order to qualify for the "Foreign Medical Graduate Examination" (FMGE) for the qualification examination of India's practicing physician. However, after the academic was forced to be interrupted, these medical students have not been properly arranged.

It is reported that at first, these medical students had obtained the enrollment and accommodation commitment of local universities. Due to the failure to implement it, a public interest lawsuit was submitted to the Supreme Court of India in March to request providing equal orientation courses for medical students. In the same month, the Indian Medical Association wrote to Indian Prime Minister Modi, and suggested that these students in Indian medical schools and allow them to complete the remaining courses for the MBBS program (English teaching undergraduate clinical medicine).

↑ The "Ukrainian MBBS Student Parent Association" composed of medical students' parents has held a press conference calling on the government to solve the academic problems

In April, some parents of medical students held protests in New Delhi asking the Indian government to intervene, but the relevant calls and proposals did not receive a response from the Indian government or the Indian National Medical Commission (NMC). The Supreme Court of India instructed NMC to formulate a plan within two months on April 29, so that medical students can complete clinical training at Indian medical schools.

The Supreme Court of India also stated that for medical students who have not completed clinical training and the entire MBBS project course, NMC "has no obligation" awarded its primary medical qualifications. The Supreme Court emphasized that without practical training, "there is no doctor." At the same time, NMC requires medical students who return home to pass FMGE to complete the admission of medical schools in India. However, even if most medical students have passed this exam, they are not satisfied with the threshold for entering public medical colleges.

"We visited the NMC office on June 29, and officials said they would announce the decision before July 8. After this time, they told us that we will make decisions before July 15. They have been delaying This has made us more and more frustrated. "The student organization of the fourth-year medical student Palrek's" India-Ukrainian Student Front "had held unofficial meetings with government officials, but did not obtain any substantial results.

Medical students may be able to bear the cost of re -studying and transferring in India

On July 22, local time, the NMC notified the Indian People's Court (next House of House) stated that the department refused to allow any foreign medical students to handle transfer or accommodation in any medical institution or university in India. Indian Minister of Health Barlati Plavin also stated that the country's bills did not allow students from foreign medical institutions to transfer to India's relevant regulations.

According to reports, the news has deepened the anger and disappointment of students, and some Indian medical students and parents subsequently protested in New Delhi. It is reported that about 5,000 people said that they would participate in protests and the event will last until July 27.

"Due to the war of more than 4 months in Ukraine, the MBBS education project has been greatly hindered. Over time, students and parents are experiencing many psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. Indian Medical College should accept all medical students (who evacuated from Ukraine). "The" Ukrainian MBBS Student Parent Association "composed of medical students' parents said in a statement that except for students who entered the last school year, 600 medical colleges in India 12,000 medical students should be accepted.

At present, many Indian medical students are participating in the online course of Ukrainian universities. According to local media disclosure, NMC drafted a proposal that allowed graduating medical students to participate in FMGE after completing online studies. However, according to sources, medical students passing this exam may face two years of compulsory rotation medical internships, not the original year.

The proposal also stipulates that medical students in the first and second grades may start a bachelor's degree from scratch. It is reported that NMC's draft has been submitted to the Ministry of Health of India, but no official announcement has been issued.

At the same time, NMC suggested that medical students go to other European countries to complete their subjects, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Romania and other countries. However, in addition to language obstacles, education costs are difficult to afford to most medical students. According to reports, in order to fund their children to study medicine in Ukraine, many Indian parents choose to mortgage houses or sell jewelry property, which is difficult to bear additional costs to Indian private universities or other countries. It is understood that the main reason for a large number of Indian students to go to Ukraine to study medicine is that the number of domestic public schools in India is limited, while the tuition fees for private medical schools are too expensive. The cost of learning medicine in Ukraine is less than 400,000 rupees, and the cost of living is lower than most European countries.

The 49 -year -old Harrish Shilma was the father of a fourth -grade medical student. He was frustrated by the Indian authorities' delay. "I have invested about $ 26,000 for my son's 4 years of education, but NMC did not explicitly tell us if we should pay the next issue. This is really ridiculous."
