British doctors looking for jobs in Indian hospitals: Report

LONDON: Facing stiff competition for limited jobs at home, a number of young British doctors are exploring employment prospects in India and other countries.

Hundreds of junior doctors have applied for jobs in India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US, hospital doctor, an industry publication, said in its latest issue. There has been an acute shortage of jobs for doctors in the UK of late. The National Health Service had recently advertised for 22,000 junior doctors posts for which it received over 30,000 applications.

Even if 22,000 vacancies are filled, still there will be about 8,000 unemployed doctors. Hospital doctor has reported that many Indian private hospitals have been advertising for British doctors as India is currently experiencing a boom in medical tourism. It quoted a Coimbatore hospital as saying in its advertisement that \"salary will not be a constraint for the right candidate.\"

Thousands of British doctors face the prospect of immigrating to various countries due to uncertainties caused by procedural flaws in the recruitment system called modernising medical careers (MMC), an online application system.

Following criticism from junior doctors and experts in the field, the British government has ordered a review of the system.

A senior NRI doctor told PTI that Indian doctors aspiring to pursue post-graduate studies and a future in the UK should think twice before embarking on their venture as job prospects in Britain is dwindling fast.

Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....

"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"

Nobody prevents from applying for jobs.

It was in news recently that India does not recognize foreign qualifications of dentists unless they are indian citizens. Only recently did they announce they would recognize foreign qualifications of OCI card holders. I would doubt if they do not recognize foreign qualifications of dentists, they would recognize qualifications for doctors of other specialties who are not indian citizens.
