I respectfully request @CMOfficeUP@myogiadityanath@brajeshpathakup ji to consider increasing the stipend for intern doctors in Uttar Pradesh, as it is currently lower than the daily wage for laborers and neighbor states.

As said by the authorities of the Uttar Pradesh Medical Council 15days ago, the second round of internship counseling will be conducted soon and will be finished in July.
However, no official notice has been released in the past 15 days. This delay is deeply unfair to FMGs who have already been waiting for six months to begin their internship. Further postponement may jeopardize their eligibility for NEET PG 2026. We urge the authorities to take prompt and compassionate action without any further delay @MeUPGovt@myogiadityanath@News18UP@CMOfficeUP@ANINewsUP
Foreign medical graduates in Andhra Pradesh are on a hunger strike because the APMC is not issuing permanent registrations(license), rendering them unable to practice despite complying with @NMC_BHARAT guidelines by fmgs. APMC registrar is disregarding these and refusing to grant PR. Authorities like these are the real reason FMGs continue to suffer—creating their own rules without any official documentation. @NMC_BHARAT and concern authorities must take immediate action and ensure permanent registration for these FMGs. @AndhraPradeshCM@PawanKalyan@APDeputyCMO@TOI_Andhra@Xpress_edex
Serious issue 🚨
Internship Crisis in UP for FMGs
The recently published list of internship seats in Uttar Pradesh has raised serious concerns. Only 781 seats have been released, shockingly low for the 1200–1500 eligible domicile students, excluding non-domicile and FMG applicants.
Disturbingly, many Government Medical Colleges and ASMCs expected to have vacant seats by July were not included in the list.
Despite having the highest number of medical colleges in India, Uttar Pradesh is failing to provide fair opportunities. Immediate action is essential.
FMGs are currently protesting over inadequate internship seats.

FMGs from UP have submitted a formal letter to Deputy CM sir @brajeshpathakup, highlighting the critical shortage of internship seats of FMGs and the delay in counseling across the state.
We urge @brajeshpathakup ji to take swift action on this issue.
Earlier this morning, a representative from AFA spoke with @NMC_BHARAT Chairman Dr. BN Gangadhar sir, discussing the urgent need to increase FMG internship seats-especially considering that FMGE is conducted twice a year and there are not enough seats to accommodate everyone for internship. He assured that necessary action will be taken to address this.

To @NMC_BHARAT
The current allocation of FMG internship seats in medical colleges and hospitals-capped at just 7.5%—is severely inadequate. We urge an increase to 20% in colleges, addressing a critical issue that demands immediate action.
Key concerns:
💧Severe shortage across multiple states: Numerous FMGs struggle to secure internship seats, leading to prolonged uncertainty and distress.
💧Escalating protests & wasted time: The lack of adequate seats fuels frustration among FMGs, forcing them to protest instead of progressing in their careers.
💧Unnecessary burden on NMC & FMGs:
The council faces heightened pressure to address recurring grievances, adding administrative strain while FMGs endure
prolonged hardship.
💧Impact on healthcare system:
Delays in FMG internships ultimately affect workforce readiness, slowing the integration of qualified professionals into India's medical system.
A prompt revision of seat allocation will not only ease FMG struggles but also enhance the efficiency of medical education and internship placement across the country.
We urge swift action to rectify this gap for the benefit of both FMGs and the healthcare system at large. @NMC_BHARAT@Aayushi_996@UDF_BHARAT@FordaIndia@FAIMA_INDIA_@DrDhruvchauhan@DalmiyaDr@dr_deepakaanjna@drlakshyamittal@DrRohanKrishna3@DFlex007@sarkari_doctor@Xpress_edex@medicaldialogs
