India faces a shortage of quality doctors due to issues with medical education regulation and access. The government plans to address this by introducing the National Medical Commission Bill, which will reform the medical education system and make it more transparent and affordable. Key reforms include national licensure exams, fee regulation in private colleges, and an assessment board to rank medical colleges. The goal is to improve doctor quality and increase access to medical education in India.
Healthcare policies for progress an indian healthcare perspective by Mahboob ...Healthcare consultant
Can India have absolute Affordable and Quality Healthcare in every City and Town?
Healthcare in India is heading towards a major makeover, thanks to the liberalisation and globalisation of the economy. Like every other field, such a change starts from the class room. Involvement of private players in education has set the bar high; now it has to be followed by government institutions as well. Health education in India is comparable to anywhere in the world. Policy change from MCI had ensured relaxation of stringent criteria required for operating medical colleges. Currently there are around 300 medical colleges all over India; around 30,000 to 35,000 students graduate every year. Yet there is room for improvement.
For the last 10 years or more, the industry has been crying out loud for a major reform of the way medical education and supply side constraints of talent in India has been governed. The major constraints in
the implementation of government’s health programmes and schemes have been in the realm of physical infrastructure, manpower and other support facilities for an effective healthcare delivery system.

Why are India’s Best Medical Graduates not Preferring ENT for Postgraduate Tr...Ahmad Ozair
The first-round seat allotment data of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Post Graduation (NEET-PG) 2020 was published in April 2020 [1]. Apart from a few institutions having their own selection processes, this competitive examination has acted as the sole entrance to the majority of residency positions in India, since NEET-PG 2017. Additionally, since NEET-PG 2019, ranks here have served as the basis of Diplomate of National Board (DNB) counseling, adding even more significance to the outcomes of this exam. As of 2020, there are 299 institutions in India imparting the training and degree of Master of Surgery in Otorhinolaryngology [MS (ENT)] across 1151 seats [2]. We note with concern that students with the highest all-India ranks (AIRs) in the NEET-PG, a metric that only takes examination score into account, have continued to completely forsake ENT, similar to the previous years (Fig. 1). Amongst top-100 AIRs, not a single student chose ENT, as has been true for the past years. Over 89% of the top-100 AIRs this year gravitated towards ‘medical’ specialties. Similarly, amongst the top-500 AIRs, only one examinee chose ENT, with 78.8% of candidates preferring these four ‘medical’ fields: internal medicine, radio-diagnosis, pediatrics, and dermatology. Even amongst the top-2000 AIRs, merely four candidates chose ENT [1].

Estimates indicate that healthcare costs drive an additional 4% of Indian families, over 50 million people, into poverty each year.The challenge before us is not one of resources. As a country we are already spending more than enough money on healthcare; we produce almost all of the drugs that we need locally, at a fraction of global costs; we have the finest physicians and nurses; and our technological capabilities are internationally recognized. What we need is a health system that uses these resources effectively.
Many doctors believe that the younger generation’s attraction to medicine as a career is decreasing and naturally they are concerned about this sorry trend. Medicine used to be a very high profile profession to be in and has always attracted good number of bright and intelligent students. Slowly and gradually, the numbers began to decline. Today, it has reached a stage where students are openly showing least interest in pursuing medicine as their career.“Everybody wants easy money, less hard work and also wants to get settled fast. All of these are not present in the medical line. It takes about 10 years to get over with all the medical studies. So, definitely it’s a tough line and only those who are passionate about it can go on.” i reiterate.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. How the government plans to fix the issue?
• The Indian medical education system has around 529 registered medical colleges. Medical
schools in India create the largest number of doctors in the world corresponding to the rapid
increase of medical colleges in the last two decades, particularly within the private sector. The
Medical Council of India (MCI), the regulatory body, is required to approve any important
reforms in medical curricula. The authorization procedure for medical schools in the past has
placed higher importance on the infrastructure along with staff and lesser on the quality of
education imparted to the students. But this is about to change with the formation of the
Medical Assessment and Rating Board or MARB which is to be responsible for granting
permissions for the creation of new medical colleges and for existing medical colleges to start
PG programs.
• The deficit of quality doctors is one of the major problems that is plaguing the current Indian
medical system. The various loopholes that have been identified in the MCI regulations have
made it possible for some private medical colleges without proper infrastructure or an
adequate number of patients to get accreditation. This has been one of the key contributing
factors in the gradual decline in quality of medical education in India over the years, a problem
that the current government plans to tackle head-on with the introduction of the new National
Medical Commission (NMC) Bill.
3. • According to a 2018 report, the doctor-patient ratio in India stands at 1:1300 but is
gradually improving and is expected to reach the World Health Organisation (WHO) norm
of 1:1000 by 2024. This when compared to other developed countries like the USA
(1:400), Germany (1:244) and Australia (1:303) places further emphasis on our
government’s efforts in increasing the number of doctors in the country. These numbers
are inclusive of various medical practitioners like ayurveda, homeopathy, unani and
allopathy, but taking only allopathic (modern medicine) practitioners into consideration
would drastically reduce the stated doctor-patient ratio.
• India has such a huge resource of doctors but still finds it challenging in providing quality
treatment to their patients. Statistics show that Tamil Nadu has a doctor-patient ratio of
1:253 whereas Jharkhand has 1:8180. This disproportion of doctors pan India is one of
the most important issues faced by the medical system as its resulting issues are very
widespread. Half of the children in India are not immunized and less than half of the
women don’t receive proper prenatal care during pregnancy. With the demand for
doctors being high in rural areas, this uneven spread of qualified doctors shows us that
it’s not just about the quality of education, but several other factors that affect the entire
Indian medical system as a whole.
4. • In the current Indian medical education system, around 15.2 lakh students registered for
the pre-medical entrance test in 2019, out of which only about 75,000 turn out to be
fortunate enough to secure a seat. This huge gap in the numbers has given rise to a latest
trend where an increasing number of students prefer to study medicine abroad as many
countries provide Indian students with the opportunity to pursue a high quality medical
education at very affordable costs.
• With the introduction of the government’s new NMC bill, the number of available
medical seats in the country is set to steadily increase year-on-year, while the Indian
healthcare industry is also on the rise with an estimated 2500 new hospitals to be setup
within the next 5 years. Although this is a positive factor in our country’s progress, and
given that we continue to maintain this rate of steady growth, it will take us at least a
decade at minimum to close the gap between the number of medical aspirants and the
number of seats available to them. But until then, it will be the overseas study option
that provides medical aspirants with a further chance at becoming a doctor and in-turn
contribute to India’s growing number of qualified doctors.
5. • Privatization of educational institutions has further added to the commercialization of
medical education in India. There have been many incidences in the past where private
medical colleges were in the practice of taking exorbitant amounts of money as illegal
fees and donations. But with the introduction of the new bill, the National Medical
Commission from now will regulate all fees related charges for 50 percent of all seats in
both deemed universities and private medical colleges, making medical education in
India more accessible and affordable.
• Most faculties in private medical colleges are extremely busy private practitioners and
their private practice in some way or the other compromises with their required research
and preparation time. The demand for quality doctors is so much that many of them
choose to do multiple practices, with most having a clinic of their own and also practicing
as a visiting doctor in high-end hospitals. This shift by doctors affects their performance
in teaching and hence, it becomes one of the main contributing factors that adds to the
lack of quality educators in the Indian medical system.
6. • The National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill was introduced by Union Health Minister
Harsh Vardhan in Lok Sabha on July 22, 2019. The Indian Medical Council Act will be
repealed after the National Medical Commission Bill is put into practice. This bill has
introduced a new entrance exam called the National Exit Test (NEXT) for the students of
MBBS. The NEXT will also serve as a screening test for Indian students who have a
graduation degree in medicine from a foreign country. The Medical Bill was approved by the
Union Cabinet which stated that the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), common
counseling and NEXT shall even apply to Institutes of National Importance (INIs) similar to
AIIMS to have common standards in India. The release stated that Commission will control
fees and all other charges for 50 percent seats in private medical colleges and deemed
universities. The statement further added that the Medical Assessment and Rating Board
(MARB) will carry out an assessment to the medical college and develop a system of ranking
medical colleges that would allow the students to chose the medical college judiciously.
Such measures will assure a more transparent admission process and also bring about a
significant decrease in all admission related costs and charges.
7. • As demonstrated in the past, India has been on the back foot when it comes to the
quality of medical education, which in turn directly influences the country’s need for
more qualified doctors. But things are about to take a turn for the better with the
introduction of the new National Medical Commission Bill. With this bill, the Indian
government aims to drastically reform the current Indian medical education system by
bringing in high-quality and up-to-date study material while also factoring in a much-
needed degree of fairness and transparency into the entire student selection process.
