RESPONDING to an RTI reply, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has refused to share the action it has taken against 198 medical colleges and institutions that have not paid stipends to undergraduate interns, postgraduate residents, and senior residents.

- KAVITA BAJELI-DATT

The top body for medical education in India said that the matter is sub-judice.

Interestingly, NMC had issued show cause notices to these 198 government and private medical colleges and institutions last November, for non-submission of the details of stipends paid to interns and resident doctors in super speciality colleges and institutions.

The highest number of medical colleges and institutions violating the norms were found to be in Telangana, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala.
