Not just Chinese consumer products, India also receives thousands of “made in China“ doctors. China is today the largest contributor of MBBS doctors to India followed by Russia, Ukraine and Nepal, says data collated by the National Board of Examinations, which conducts Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) screening tests.
The FMGE is a qualifying exam for Indian students holding foreign medical degrees and intending to practise in India. The Medical Council of India (MCI) rec ognises Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) screening tests.
As many as 11,825 Indian students, who have Chinese MBBS degrees, took the FMGE test during 20122014, while 5,950 were from schools in Russia and 3,163 in Nepal. The rush for foreign destinations, experts say, is fuelled by those who fail to get admissions in Indian colleges. Of over 5 lakh Indian MBBS aspirants each year, about 4,500 get seats in govern ment colleges.
While UK, Germany and Singapore attract candidates, the numbers are comparatively smaller than those who go to China and Nepal for European institutes are costlier.
