Supreme Court Slams Medical Commission Over Unpaid Intern Stipends

Supreme Court Slams Medical Commission Over Unpaid Intern Stipends

Imagine doctors who are still learning, called interns.

They work very, very long hours, like more than 18 hours a day, which is a lot!

They are supposed to get a small amount of money called a stipend for their hard work.

But, a big medical group called the NMC hasn't made sure all the intern doctors are getting paid.

The highest court in the country, the Supreme Court, is very upset about this.

They told the NMC that this is not fair, especially because the interns work so hard.

The court wants the NMC to fix this problem quickly and show them proof that the interns are being paid.

The court also mentioned that not paying them is like ignoring what the court had already said before.

So, the NMC has to explain what they are doing to make sure all intern doctors get their deserved money soon.
