Health Minister Dr. Irfan Ansari Announces Major Boost for FMGs

Jharkhand Health Minister Dr. Irfan Ansari has officially addressed the long-standing grievances of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) regarding unpaid internships. Through a recent press release, the minister confirmed that the state government has sanctioned ₹2.53 crore specifically for the stipends of these doctors. Previously, the absence of financial incentives forced many talented foreign-trained specialists to seek opportunities in other Indian states, leading to a shortage of medical experts in Jharkhand. This new initiative aims to stop this brain drain. The minister emphasized that these doctors will now play a crucial role in strengthening healthcare services across the state, especially in rural and remote regions. By providing financial stability and equal rights, the government is signaling its commitment to the entire medical fraternity, ensuring that all practitioners are treated with the respect they deserve for their hard work.
