FMGs seek clarity after HC relief for a student

Though APMC agrees to implement the HC's direction, it refrains from clarifying its stance on pending applications

THE Andhra Pradesh High Court's (HC) landmark judgment in favour of Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) Mitta Vamsi has brought hope to hundreds of FMGs in the State facing prolonged delays in obtaining permanent registration.

However, uncertainty looms as the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council (APMC) has not offered clarity regarding similarly placed students.

While the council has agreed to implement the order for Vamsi alone, it has remained silent on pending cases, fueling frustration and suspicion among students and stakeholders.

Allegations suggest that the delays may not be merely procedural but possibly driven by undisclosed intentions that are jeopardizing the careers of many deserving graduates. Hundreds of FMGs have been continuing their agitation since June 30, stating that their protest will continue until justice is served.
