Treating it as a special case and bypassing the environ

First step in a long journeyNational Medical Commission Bill

Indian Medical Association getting ready later this month to challenge the National

Medical Commission (NMC) Bill, 2017 (now before a parliamentary standing

committee), it is pertinent to look at the Bill‟s highlights.

Article 47 of the Constitution makes it clear that the state is dutybound to improve

public health, but India continues to face a health crisis, with an absolute shortage of

and an inequitable presence of doctors and overburdened hospitals.

India has 10 lakh medical doctors, it needs 3,00,000 more in order to meetWorld

Health Organisation standard of the ideal doctorpopulation ratio.

There is an 81% shortage of specialists in community health centres (CHC)

Most affected by this are poor and rural patients


ContinueAnother fact is that 82.2% of providers of “modern medicine” in rural areas do not have a

medical qualification.

Rural India, which accounts for 69% of population, faces another issue only 21% of the

country‟s doctors serve them

Ironic that, while India is a hub for medical tourism (in 2016, India issued 1.78 lakh

medical visas), it is a common sight in government hospitals to have patients sleep in

corridors waiting for their outpatient department appointments.

The Bill, among other things, seeks to address these problems.

Insertion of Section 10A in the Indian Medical Council Act was followed by an

exponential rise in the number of private medical colleges.

This was encouraged as there was, and still is, a shortfall in the number of medical

practitioners.Copyright @ Study-IQ education Be Happy, Share & Help Each Other!!!

ContinueHowever, the high capitation fees charged by these colleges can have a negative effect in

terms of affordability of medical services .

Regulatory authority has been unable to act despite the fact that over half the 60,000

medical students graduating every year are from private medical colleges

With corruption in the issuing of licences and regulatory requirements, many such

academic institutions have a faculty of questionable standards, with obvious

repercussions on the quality of education imparted.

For instance,Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Nagaland do not have a

single medical college.

Bill has facilitated this by providing for a bridge course for AYUSH doctors

Bill- is no magic bullet, it should be looked at as a step in the right direction


A move to equivalenceSeveral Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements were signed

between France and India recently on French President Emmanuel Macron‟s visit.After the agreement with France, India must hold bilateral talks for degree recognition

with other countries

Most important MoU of these was the landmark agreement signed at the „Knowledge

Summit‟ between two countries on mutual recognition of educational qualifications

Estimated 5 lakh Indian students pursuing degrees in higher education abroad in 2017

, mostly in the U.S., the U.K., and the European Union.

Worldclass institutions in their area of interest in which Indian universities have very

little to offer.

bilateral pact with France is a good start that needs to be taken forward.


Time to move beyond subsidiesU.S. complaint to the WTO against India‟s export promotion schemes is a wake-up call

Complaint of USTR is that India is violating its commitments under the Agreement on

Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement) using five of the most used

export promotion schemes, namely

Electronics hardware technology parks scheme, merchandise exports from India

scheme, export promotion capital goods scheme, special economic zones

Main argument of the USTR is that India‟s five export promotion schemes violate

Articles 3.1(a) and 3.2 of the SCM Agreement, since the two provisions prohibit

granting of export subsidies.

Gross National Product (GNP) had not crossed $1,000

India had crossed the $1,000 GNP per capita threshold in 2015

India must eliminate export subsidies immediatelyCopyright @ Study-IQ education Be Happy, Share & Help Each Other!!!

To be fighting fitGovernment must order a comprehensive strategic review of the future threats to India

Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, India was the largest arms importer

in the last five years, accounting for 12% of global imports.

The Indian defence budget has now overtaken that of the U.K. to become the fifth

largest in the world.

Despite this, as theViceChief of Army Staff pointed out to Parliament‟s standing

committee on defence, the current capital allocation is insufficient

Equally worrying is the adverse impact on infrastructure development and strategic

roads where there is a severe shortage of funds.

An insufficient defence budget impacts not only modernisation but also the current

operational readiness of the force.


ContinueReduction in revenue allocation means cutting down on training requirements and

Routine replacement of items like surveillance and protective equipment.

not mere numbers
