FMGs Protest Ends After Health Department Signs Internship List
Imagine doctors who studied medicine abroad.
They need to do an internship in India before they can take a big test to become specialists.
These doctors were waiting for a list that would let them start their internships.
The list was supposed to come out, but there were problems like typos and too many names.
So, the doctors protested to get the list released.
Finally, the government fixed the list and promised to put it online, so the doctors could start their internships and prepare for their exams.
Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) protested for over 48 hours in Patna.
Protests were held due to delays in releasing the CMRI internship list.
