Medical students, who were evacuated from war-torn Ukraine, will hold a five-day hunger strike from Saturday over their demand of admission in Indian medical colleges as a one-time measure, according to a statement by the Parents Association of Ukraine MBBS Students (PAUMS).
The association claimed that 5,000 students and parents from 26 states will participate in the strike from July 23 to July 27.
“Due to war for more than four months in Ukraine, MBBS education has been hampered a lot. As time goes, students and parents are going through depression, anxiety and many mental issues. Our demand from Government of India is to accommodate all students in Indian medical colleges,” the PAUMS statement read.
