Medical colleges accused of forcing PG residents to opt for hostels, doctors seek Minister’s help

Pointing out that staying in the medical college hostels is not mandatory for the resident doctors, the doctors have alleged that many medical colleges across the country are forcing the resident doctors to opt for hostel stay.

Raising this issue, the doctors under the Indian Medical Association Junior Doctors’ Network IMA JDN recently wrote to the Union Health Minister Shri J P Nadda urging him to take cognisance of the issue and intervene immediately to enforce uniform compliance with NMC regulations across all medical institutes in India.
