One-liner: A PIL has been filed in Supreme Court seeking directions on the issue of admission and continuation of studies in the country by Indian medical students evacuated from war-hit Ukraine.
Directions to Centre: The plea also sought directions to the Centre to provide a medical subject equivalency orientation programme for admitting them in the Indian curriculum.
Multiple petitions: Since the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine and the return of students from Ukraine, multiple petitions are being filed in HCs and SC seeking direction to the Centre on the issue.
Bottom line: The plea said the National Medical Commission has allowed foreign medical graduates to complete their internship in India due to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.
