India’s doctor-patient ratio is very poor and latest reports suggest that India will need 2.07 million more doctors by 2030. To improve this poor ratio, government has added 13004 MBBS seats in last three years. Owing to acute need of doctors in our country, this decision is certainly welcome. But I am doubtful about one thing.
Today, the stringent examination system allows only excellent candidates to qualify for becoming doctors. Would increasing MBBS seats somewhat relax the admission criteria and compromise the quality of medical education? Source: India
