[ALL FMGs ASSOCIATION(AFA) @official_afa_]

Today, we FMGs are at the NMC protesting against the notice published by @NMC_BHARAT on 6 March 2026, which gives clarification regarding COVID-19 online classes. NMC is issuing this clarification six years after the pandemic and is now asking us to follow it. Today, AFA (@official_afa_) and AIMSA(@official_aimsa), with the collective support of all FMGs, are demanding that @NMC_BHARAT withdraw this notice.”

[ALL FMGs ASSOCIATION(AFA) @official_afa_]

The #Kerala High Court has ruled that no fees will be charged to Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) for their internship. This decision follows a petition filed by Kerala FMGs against the imposition of illegal fees for internships.
Below is the key points discussed in court.

👉State's Role in Stipend: The NMC's discretion to state authorities is limited to determining stipend payments for FMGs, not fees (Document 2).

👉Court Review (W.P.(C) No.23663/2021): A Division Bench reviewed the NMC's policy, affirming that no fee should be charged from FMGs for internships, as per the NMC's Circular dated March 4, 2022 (Document 3).

👉Internship as Employment (Judgment, May 31, 2025): The court recognized that interns, including FMGs, work in a resident medical capacity, performing duties like examining patients and prescribing medicines, which amounts to employment by Medical Colleges/General Hospitals (Document 4).

👉NMC Act, 2019 Mandate: The NMC Act, 2019, mandates stipend payments to interns and aims to make medical education affordable, prohibiting internship fees for Medical Graduates, including FMGs (Document 4).

👉Illegality of Kerala Government Order: The court found the Government of Kerala's Order (GO(Rt) No.987/2025/H&FWD) dated April 3, 2025, which likely permitted charging fees, to be illegal and ultra vires (beyond legal authority) as it violated the NMC Act, 2019 (Document 4).

[Edex - The New Indian Express @Xpress_edex]

This sentiment is echoed by many FMGs, who feel they are treated differently compared to Indian Medical Graduates (IMGs).

[FORDA India @FordaIndia]

🚨 And the fight continues..

Team @FordaIndia delegates led the battle on two very pressing matters today:

1. A meeting with @NMC_IND officials and #UGMEB chairman for the #FMG issue. Submitted a written representation & voiced their concerns.

2. Advocating for the injustice against lakhs of aspirants of #NeetUG24Contoversey & the way forward. @republic

We remain committed to fight for our students & shall see through both the recent upheavals in the realm of medical education.

We suffered through the racism we faced in foreign countries, but we didn’t expect to be treated differently and so poorly in our own country

[Dr. (Prof.) Ashish Mahendra(Education Counsellor) @DrAsh_Mahendra]

Qualified FMG students should be treated equal to IMG students.

Why always there is discrimination for #FMG for giving stipends
along with adding 2-3 years internship is harassment for them

As Member of DMC I have closely seen frustration, struggle, despair of FMGs. We tried our best to help in Delhi. I have no hesitation in saying that NMC & other State Councils have prejudice towards them @official_afa_ @official_aimsa @dentodontics @FordaIndia @NMC_IND @JPNadda

[Dr Syed Faizan Ahmad @drsfaizanahmad]

Totally agree with @DrDhruvchauhan .

Demands of #FMGs are very genuine. Keep fighting for your rights, do protest or social media trending , we are with you but personal attack or any kind of “badtamizi” with seniors will not acceptable.

My sincere apology to Dr Aruna Mam on behalf of my juniors.
Mam , my humble request to you to please help them , guide them . As 2-3 Yr of internship is a mental stress for them.
A FMG who have cleared Exit exam is a potentially competent doctor and 1 Yr of internship is enough.

🚨🚨𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐗𝐈𝐌𝐔𝐌 🚨🚨

Whenever doctors are attacked by goon/patient’s attendant anywhere,we all stand by without
differentiating between IMGs & FMGs

We expect IMGs to speak 🗣️ up against injustice with FMGs for extended 2yr/3yr Internship without stipend.

I expect IMGs to come out in our support,It’s really disheartening to see not getting solid support.

Nationwide Support from all Interns,Junior Residents & Senior Residents will be grateful 🥲

Please look into the matter of #Fmgs ,Hope you will bring us justice

[Jagdish Chaturvedi @DrJagdishChatur]

FMGE should be treated at par with National exams! Make the qualifying exam as difficult as you want, assess the FMG thoroughly for medical knowledge, clinical application etc. But once someone clears the FMGE, they should be treated at par with National Graduates. This is a norm everywhere in the world. No sense in increasing internships and providing lesser paid opportunities and creating a divide.
