The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has voiced its dissatisfaction with what it perceives as the "cherry-picking" of Indian physicians to address the shortage of medical professionals in the UK's National Health Service (NHS), citing the lack of substantial benefits for the medical community in India. The NHS, facing a critical deficit of senior medical consultants and specialists, has initiated a program to recruit 2,000 doctors from India, generating interest among Indian medical professionals. However, the IMA deems this initiative as contributing to brain drain, emphasizing the need for specialists within India, particularly for MBBS graduates seeking employment and better career prospects. "The UK's recruitment drive targets professionals much needed in India, where they often receive better pay. We advocate for opportunities for our MBBS graduates. While willing to assist the NHS, we're concerned about skilled doctor migration's impact on India's healthcare. Hence, we're developing a subscription-based portal for domestic and international job placements, potentially with a commercial partner's aid. The proliferation of new medical colleges exacerbates graduate unemployment, with over 100,000 graduates from 706 colleges struggling for postgraduate programs or quality employment. This trend must reverse. The NHS, the UK's publicly funded healthcare system, has announced plans to provide training for the initial group of recruited doctors. The reported shortage is attributed to high workloads and relatively low wages. At present, 25-30% of the NHS medical staff comprises internationally trained doctors.
