  • While the Medical Council of India (MCI), in its latest guidelines, has said people with certain disabilities cannot pursue MBBS, the 71-year-old medical oncologist, Dr Suresh Adwani with 80 per cent locomotor disability, makes a case for allowing disabled students to chase a career in medicine.
  • The Government on Wednesday dodged another question in the Lok Sabha regarding action taken by it to facilitate the removal of Justice Narayan Shukla of Allahabad High Court, as recommended by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra. Justice Shukla was investigated against for granting permission to a private medical college to admit students despite a ban by the Medical Council of India as well as Supreme Court orders against such permission.
  • As per information provided by Medical Council of India, there are a total 10,41,395 allopathic doctors registered with the State Medical Councils/Medical Council of India as on September 2017
  • In an approach to keep the athletes as part of the Indian contingent ahead of the 2018 Asian Games in a ‘optimal physical and psychological’ condition for their respective events, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has demanded a medical screening of each athlete from the National Sports Federations which is set to include a thorough scan of each body part and every organ in the body.
  • The Supreme Court on Monday granted relief to doctors Deepa and Sanjeev Pawaskar, who have been booked under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the IPC in a case of medical negligence. The couple moved the apex court once Bombay High Court rejected their anticipatory bail application and Justice SS Jadhav made sharp observations against their professional conduct and held that this was a case of prescription without diagnosis.
  • The Government of India has launched a “Swachh Bharat Summer Internship- 100 hours of Swachhta” program for the students of Universities and Higher Education Institutions. The students are to devote approximately 100 hours conducting Swachhta- related activities in villages selected by them and approved by their parent institution. All the participants of the Internship programme will be given a Swachh Bharat Summer Internship Certificate on completion of their internship and its approval by their parent institution. Apart from these Certificates, the Best interns will be recognised with Shields/cups at college level and cash prizes. Two curriculum credits are to be given by institutions affiliated with UGC to those interns whose internships are certified by the parent institution as eligible for the credits on the basis of higher parameters….
