The National Medical Commission (NMC) issues directions to deploy postgraduate (PG) medical students in flood-affected areas across the country. The decision comes in response to the urgent need for medical support in regions severely impacted by heavy rains and flooding.
According to the directive, state authorities and medical colleges are asked to ensure that PG students are actively involved in providing healthcare assistance to affected communities. Their responsibilities include emergency care, preventive measures, and public health services.
NMC highlights that the involvement of medical students not only strengthens relief operations but also provides them with valuable on-ground training in handling crisis situations. The Commission assures that due safety measures will be taken to protect students while they serve in high-risk zones.
The directive underlines the importance of collective efforts in tackling the challenges posed by natural disasters. It also reflects NMC’s emphasis on practical exposure for medical trainees while ensuring communities receive timely healthcare.
