Persecuted minorities from Pakistan get chance to practise medicine in India; NMC invites applications

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has opened the doors for persecuted minorities from Pakistan, who fled the country and entered India on or before December 31, 2014, to practise medicine here.

It has invited applications from such people who have obtained Indian citizenship for the grant of permanent registration to practise modern medicine or allopathy.

According to a public notice issued by the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UMEB) of the NMC on Friday, the shortlisted applicants will be allowed to appear in an examination to be conducted by the commission or an agency authorised by it.
