CM MK Stalin writes to Union Health Minister, opposes draft postgraduate medical education regulations

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has written to the Union Health Minister opposing the draft postgraduate medical education regulations.

Chief Minister MK Stalin has written a letter to Union Health Minister and opposing the Draft Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations, recently released by the National Medical Commission. Tamil Nadu CM in his letter said that “the draft regulations intend to undermine the role of the States in Post Graduate Medical Education since their role in the admission of students under their own State quota is sought to be unilaterally removed.” “It is unfortunate that such draft regulations have been formulated without a proper understanding of the current predominant role of State Governments in this domain. The Union Government and the National Medical Council need to appreciate the fact that it is only the States which have heavily invested their own resources to create most of the PG seats. Considering this, our State has consistently been opposed to such measures aimed at centralization of States' powers,” said MK Stalin.
