Telangana Doctors Voice Concerns Over Potential NRI Medical Quota

Imagine if some medical colleges gave special seats to people from other countries who are willing to pay a lot of money.

This is what's being discussed in Telangana.

Doctors and experts are worried this might happen because a nearby state, Karnataka, is doing it.

They worry it could make it harder for local students from less wealthy families to become doctors.

These students often rely on government colleges, which are more affordable.

The doctors believe the government should focus on increasing the number of seats for these students instead.

Some are concerned that it might be a step toward making medical education too focused on money.

There was an attempt to do something similar in the past, but it didn't work out.

They also note that the government spends very little on public health.
