Linguistic Minority Medical Colleges Bound by NMC PGMER to Share PG Medical Seats with Govt! HC Junks Institute’s plea

Chennai: The Madras High Court bench recently held that private linguistic minority medical colleges are bound by the provision of the Post-Graduate Medical Education Regulations (PGMER), 2023, earlier issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and also the agreements made with the Government to reserve the PG medical seats for the Government quota as per the applicable laws of the State of Union Territory.

The plea before the High Court bench was filed by Venkateshwara Medical College and Research Centre in Puducherry, which sought the Court to quash the July 22, 2024 notification issued by the Director-cum-nodal officer (Medical Education), Puducherry Government providing for surrendering of 50% of the PG medical seats for the government quota. In its plea, the college prayed to treat all of its PG medical seats as the All India Management Quota seats to be filled by the college itself.

It was argued by the petitioner institute that the PGMER 2023 does not contain any clauses similar to 9(7) of the PGMER, 2000, which now stands repealed and had the provision of Government quota seats. Therefore, the college argued that it did not need to provide such quota since being a minority institute.

Further, it was contended that even Clause 4.8 of the PGMER, 2023, stipulates that the reservation of seats in Medical Colleges/Institutions for respective categories shall be as per the applicable laws prevailing in the States/Union Territories. In this regard, the Puducherry Government has framed regulation namely, “The Pondicherry Private professional educational Institutions (Provision of reservation, Admission of students and fixation of fees) regulations, 2006”, pointed out the college’s counsel, further adding that Clause 14 of the Regulation that deals about the reservation of seats, has expressly excluded to the minority education institutions referred in Article 30 (1) of the Constitution of India and therefore, the reservation policy cannot be enforced against the petitioner.

On the other hand, the counsel for NMC pointed out that regulation for Chapter IV of PGMER, 2023  dealing with admissions and counselling clearly provides
that, reservation of seats in medical colleges/institutions for respective
categories shall be as per applicable laws prevailing in the
States/Union Territories, irrespective of the categories.

The counsel for the Government also referred to Clause 4.8 of the PGMER, 2023 and argued that the concerned clause empowers the State Government to implement their reservation policy in accordance with the prevailing law. He also submitted that the petitioner college had already entered into an agreement with the Government to share 50% of the seats at the time of commencement of the institute in compliance of the ‘essentiality certificate’.

However, while considering the matter, the HC bench rejected the petitioner’s argument that the ‘memorandum of agreement’ entered with the Government in 2015 applies only to the undergraduate (UG) seats and not for PG medical seats. 

“It is obvious to note that nowhere in the terms of the agreement such prohibition is found to exclude the PG seats from seat sharing. It is also seen from the clause 2(viii) of the agreement that the post graduate level was also one of the subject matter of terms of the agreement. Therefore, the said issue is also answered against the petitioner. Hence, the petitioner is bound by the agreement and also to share the PG seats as well to the Government quota seats,” observed the HC bench.

“Article 30 of the Constitution of India guarantees fundamental right for the Minorities to establish and administer educational institutions. Thus, Article 30 of the Constitution does confer right alone, does not confer any special privilege upon the minorities. Hence, the prayer of the petitioner to treat all PG medical seats as All India Management Quota, is impermissible since the same will amount to special privilege. While exercising the powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, this Court can only enforce the valuable rights of the citizen and the same cannot be exercised to confer a privilege upon any person. Therefore, the petitioner cannot be permitted to treat their entire PG seats as All India Management Quota Seats. However, the situation would be different in the event of the minority quota seats goes unfilled. To avoid the wastage of the medical seats, necessary conversion process may be adopted in a manner known to law,” held the bench.

Relying on the earlier orders of the Supreme Court, the bench concluded that the petitioner college was not entitled to any relief as sought by them and accordingly dismissed the plea.

Pune’s Sassoon Hospital to Set Up 400-bed Cancer Hospital Research Centre

Pune: B J Medical College (BJMC) and Sassoon General Hospital (SGH) will establish a state-of-the-art 400-bed Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Pune, contributing to the development of the city’s healthcare sector. The new facility aims to provide comprehensive, advanced cancer care while also meeting the growing demand for specialized medical education and research in oncology.

Pune, a rapidly expanding city, is currently grappling with an urgent need for a dedicated cancer hospital. Despite its growth, the city lacks a specialized facility for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research. As a result, patients often have to travel to Mumbai or other cities for treatment, leading to delays and added financial strain. The new cancer hospital will address these challenges by offering early detection, affordable treatment, and advanced cancer care closer to home.

Dr Eknath Pawar, Dean of BJMC and SGH, emphasized the urgent need for a specialized cancer hospital in Pune. He stated that the dedicated cancer hospital would have 400 to 500 beds, along with an attached postgraduate (PG) institute for medical education.

As per the recent media report in Hindustan Times, Dr Eknath Pawar said, “We have discussed the need for a cancer hospital in Pune with the medical education commissioner and the district collector of Pune. The previous meetings have been productive and both officials have responded positively considering the surge in cancer patients and lack of government cancer hospitals in Pune.”

The cancer hospital project will be funded through a collaborative effort between the central government and the state’s medical education department. Dr Pawar stated that 60% of the project’s cost will be covered by the central government, while the remaining 40% will be provided by the medical education department. He further emphasized that this financial collaboration aims to ensure the availability of world-class cancer treatment facilities in the city, making advanced care more accessible to patients. Dr Pawar also highlighted that the cancer hospital will include a dedicated rehabilitation and physiotherapy centre, along with a hostel facility for the attendants of the patients.

A five-member committee of experts has been appointed by the medical education department to draft a detailed proposal for the cancer hospital and PG institute. The draft is in its final stage and is set to be submitted to the district collector on December 2. The district collector has already confirmed the allocation of land for this ambitious project.

SGH currently provides free screening, surgery, and chemotherapy for cancer patients, but the new facility will offer much-needed specialized care for a variety of cancers, all under one roof. The new hospital will serve patients from Pune and surrounding areas, providing specialized care for various types of cancer. In addition to treatment, the attached PG institute will focus on training future oncologists and conducting groundbreaking research in cancer prevention and management.

UGC Receives 55 ragging Complaints within Weeks of Commencement of MBBS Academic Session: Report

New Delhi: This year, within weeks of the commencement of the 2024 academic year on October 14, the anti-ragging cell of the University Grants Commission (UGC) received more than 55 complaints from medical colleges across the country. As per a TOI report, this number was almost 42% of the total number of complaints received from all the colleges.

Even though there are only around 700 medical colleges in the country, comparatively much lesser than the number of engineering and technology colleges (8000), in 2024 alone, the anti-ragging cell received 800 complaints and among them 222 were from the medical colleges and 230 were from engineering and polytechnic colleges. 

From these instances of ragging in medical colleges, the victims in four of these cases took their own lives. Meanwhile, anti-ragging activists have complained that the complaints about ragging don’t always lead to action.

As per the latest media report by the Times of India, Anti-Ragging activists have pointed out that the UGC data does not even capture all the incidents because one cannot register an anonymous complaint.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported about the instances of ragging at Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia (RVRS) Medical College, Bhilwara, where the MBBS students were allegedly forced to “strip naked” and “moan” by their seniors. When the students complained in this regard to the UGC, the Commission had reportedly asked the complainant student to reveal his/her identity to initiate further action.

Referring to this, Gaurav Singhal of the non-profit that works on preventing ragging, Society Against Violence in Education (SAVE) explained to TOI, “The reported case of severe ragging in RVRS Medical College in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, does not feature in the UGC list of complaints though the students tried to complain. They insisted on the student identity being revealed and since the student was not willing to do so, the complaint does not figure in the list.”

Rupesh Kumar Jha of SAVE mentioned that most of the complaints are made anonymously so that they did not have to face any consequences from the seniors. Referring to the recently reported ragging incident from Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College in Raipur and added, “This is a common problem. So, victims are scared. If you are serious about tackling ragging, anonymous complaints must be given importance. It is for the UGC or college authorities to investigate and verify the truth in such complaints. In JLN Medical college, the boys were forced to shave their heads. If students are going around in uniform with shaved heads or if all freshers have a peculiar hairstyle, it is evidence that ragging is going on. How can the college authority deny it?”

“College authorities take it as a personal attack on them and almost never act on their own. Instead of being thankful that students are informing them that all is not well in the college, they victimize the complainant. This is why students cannot be expected to seek help from within the college. We must prevent ragging by implementing the detailed action plan mandated by the Supreme Court order in 2009,” explained Prof Rajendra Kachroo, the father of a student who died in 2009 from violent instance of ragging.  When Prof Kachroo took up the matter before the Supreme Court, it resulted in the framing of regulations against ragging.

EWS Students secure Management, NRI quota PG Medical Seats with Crores of course fee, candidates demand inquiry

New Delhi: Despite belonging to the economically weaker section, more than 140 such candidates have been admitted to postgraduate medical courses in clinical specialties from the management and NRI quotas of private medical colleges for which they will have to pay a tuition fee ranging from Rs 25 lakh to Rs 90 lakh per annum, TOI has reported.

Therefore, these EWS candidates, belonging to families with an annual income of less than Rs 8 lakh, will have to pay more than a crore for a three-year postgraduate course. 

Many aspirants are now questioning this revelation, as they doubt the eligibility of these candidates to secure an EWS certificate when they could afford to pay such a hefty amount as their PG medical course fee.

More than 24,600 PG medical seats were allotted in the first round announced on November 20. Among these 135 management quota seats in the private medical colleges and 8 NRI seats were allotted to candidates registered as EWS.

As per the latest media report by the Times of India, an EWS candidate has been allotted an MS Orthopaedics seat in the management quota of Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences in Puducherry. The tuition fee for the entire course is up to Rs 1.6 crore. Another EWS candidate secured admission to an MD Radiology seat under the NRI quota in Rajrajeswari Medical College and Hospital, Mysore and will have to pay an annual fee of Rs 91 lakh. Therefore, the candidate will have to pay Rs 2.7 crore as the entire course fee.

Meanwhile, allegations are being by several MBBS graduates, who appeared in the NEET-PG 2024 exam, claiming that there was a huge increase in the candidates using fake EWS certificates. They are not demanding a Government inquiry into the matter.

Commenting on the matter, a NEET-PG aspirant told TOI, “It’s frustrating to see EWS candidates have taken admission in colleges that charge fees in crores. Govt must cancel their seats.”

MP doctors left scissors inside patient’s abdomen during surgery, Discovered 2 years later

Bhopal: A shocking case of alleged medical negligence has come to light in Bhind district, where a 44-year-old woman endured two years of severe abdominal pain only to find out that a pair of surgical scissors had been left inside her stomach in 2022.

Despite undergoing numerous tests, the woman found no relief or explanation for the excruciating abdominal pain she had been experiencing since her surgery in 2022 at Kamala Raja Hospital in Gwalior. However, a recent CT scan at Bhind District Hospital revealed a shocking incident. A metal object was found lodged in the left paracolic gutter, a part of the digestive tract which turned out to be a pair of surgical scissors. 

The woman, a resident of Saundha Gohad underwent surgery on February 20, 2022, at Kamala Raja Hospital in Gwalior to remove a cancerous lump. What was meant to be a life-saving procedure turned into a prolonged nightmare as she began experiencing debilitating pain, bloating, and digestive issues for the past two years.

Although she reached out to doctors and underwent several tests, her condition remained undiagnosed. When the pain became unbearable, she approached the Bhind District Hospital on Friday where doctors referred her to undergo a CT scan leading to the shocking discovery, as reported by TOI news report. Allegedly, it appears that the surgical team at the hospital left behind a pair of scissors inside her abdomen. 

His family members told The Daily, “She was experiencing excruciating abdominal pain for the last two years, which worsened over time. Despite undergoing several medical tests, treatments, and consultations with various doctors, the root cause of her discomfort remained undiagnosed.”

After discovering the cause of her pain, her family members felt outraged. They have accused the doctors at Kamala Raja Hospital of gross negligence and are planning to take legal action against the erring doctors and the hospital staff.

NMC issues notices to 198 medical colleges for not submitting stipend details

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued show-cause notices to altogether 115 government and 83 private medical colleges for non-compliance with the Commission’s directions to upload the details of the stipend paid to the interns and resident doctors.

Drug Alert: CDSCO flags 56 formulations as Not of Standard Quality

New Delhi: The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has declared 56 drug samples as “Not of Standard Quality” (NSQ) in its latest alert for October 2024. Among these, Trypsin & Chymotrypsin Tablets (Lysoflam Forte), Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution 4% w/v, Diclofenac Sodium, Paracetamol & Chlorzoxazone Tablets, Hydroquinone, Tretinoin & Allantoin Cream (Lumadip), Liposomal Amphotericin B Injection 50mg (Ambilip) are some of the most widely used drugs listed.

As part of its ongoing regulatory oversight, the CDSCO collects drug samples from various sales and distribution points across the country. These samples are then analyzed to identify any batches that fail to meet the required quality standards.

The list of Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) drugs is published monthly on the CDSCO portal. The goal of this initiative is to inform stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, distributors, and consumers, about the presence of substandard or counterfeit drugs in the market, thereby enhancing public safety and promoting greater transparency.

Lately, the drugs samples collected in the month of October failed to meet the prescribed regulatory standards and were found in various tests to have deficiencies like dissolution, assay, disintegration, bacterial endotoxins, and particulate matter.

The tests on the collected drug samples were conducted at different CDSCO drug laboratories including Central Drugs Laboratory, Kolkata; RDTL, Guwahati; CDTL-Mumba; CDTL, Hyderabad; CDTL, Chennai and RDTL, Chandigarh.

Below is the detailed list of drugs flagged as NSQ:
