The State branch of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has, in total contradiction to the statement by its national body, taken a stand that a decision on allowing medical students from Ukraine to complete their studies in India cannot be taken in violation of the current laws and regulations binding medical education in the country.
No hasty decision should be taken in the matter of allowing the Ukraine-returned medical students to continue their education in the country, when there are thousands of students here who were unable to pursue medical education despite clearing NEET, a statement issued by IMA State secretary Joseph Benaven and president Samuel Koshy said here on Wednesday.
The national IMA had created quite a stir across the nation when, in a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, demanded that MBBS students returning from Ukraine be absorbed in Indian medical colleges as a “one-time measure."
