The Union Health Ministry is likely to hold a meeting this week after the NMC sought its views over the Supreme Court's direction to frame a scheme allowing MBBS students of foreign universities affected by the Ukraine crisis and the pandemic and complete clinical training in medical colleges in India.
The apex court had on April 29 directed the National Medical Commission (NMC) to frame the scheme in two months.
Before that, the External Affairs Ministry had written to the Health Ministry to consider allowing Indian private medical institutes to enroll students, facing such compelling circumstances beyond their control, and continue their medical degree programmes as a one-time exception.
