RELATED
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh health minister Narottam Mishra admitted on Thursday that there is dearth of approximately 5,000 physicians and paramedical staff to cope with menace like dengue and swine flu. "We need at least 5,000 doctors and paramedical staff in government hospitals as a large number of physicians fight shy of working in interior regions and seek transfers to urban areas," Mishra told a press conference.
Defending government on the poor health facilities, Mishra said, some non-governmental organizations have established help desk in faraway rural areas of 27 districts. In tribal dominated areas of Jhabua and Alirajpur districts contractual doctors are providing services under the banner of NGOs. ``If the project proves successful them it may be extended to other districts as well'', said Mishra.
He further claimed that previous month 437 dengue cases were detected which has slumped to 28 this month, with two fatalities. Eight deaths were reported due to swine flu, since November, which has rose the total member of cases in last six months to 148, he added.
When asked about the recognition of two private medical colleges being in limbo, the minister declined to comment by saying that the matter is sub judice.

More than 10,000 indian doctors are unemployed or noteligible for practice
{ Posted on 2:40 AM by V.C.Dave }
TOI has repored that close to 10,000 Indians across the country who have completed their undergraduate medical education abroad are unemployed or under-employed.
These are those doctors who have finished their MBBS outside india. the reason for their unemployment is because they have not been able to clear the screening test mandated by the Medical Council of India (MCI). it was also reported that the graduates plan to approach Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Parliament demanding that the test be scrapped.
The foreign medical graduates and their parents held a meeting in Chennai on Sunday. Dr Ameer Jahan, chief patron of All India Foreign Medical Graduates' Association, said each student had spent Rs 15 to 20 lakh to study abroad. "They spend half of what it would cost at a private college here. Their course is nearly seven years long compared to the five-and-half-year medical course here. Every time they fail the screening test, they get delayed by six months and get depressed," he said.
This was expecting since long. The reason is that the parents and students are getting admission at cheaper rate and without collecting adequate information. the agents of these medical colleges are doing great marketing in India. The end result is the dissatisfaction and turbulence like this.
This is big warning signal to all parents and students who want to peruse admission in outside India.
