Strong Objection to remarks against Young Doctors

[Dr Sundar]

 This has ref to our Union 

 Health Minister 's recent declaration seen in media 

I am writing to register a strong objection to the widely circulated statement attributed to you: “Young doctors are free to leave India, but facilities cannot be criticised.”

These young doctors were selected and trained under the government’s own systems and policies, including your reservation framework. To now ask them to leave India instead of addressing their genuine concerns about facilities is deeply disappointing and disrespectful to the profession and to the country.

Constructive criticism from medical professionals is not an attack — it is a lifeline that helps improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. 

How many of you choose to treatment by them in Govt hospitals either  for you or for your families.

Does this itself bot expose the apologetic infrastructure you have set up ? 

 Silencing them does not solve problems; it amplifies them.

Your statement sends a message that accountability is unwelcome, and that those who point out weaknesses should simply get out of the way. This is not the spirit of democratic governance or public service.

I request  the Prime Minister should take serious note of this matter and ask for your resignation. If anyone must consider stepping aside and leaving space for better leadership, it is not the doctors — it is you.

India’s doctors deserve respect, support and the freedom to speak and work peacefully  .....no,? 

Thanks and Namaskaraam

Young doctors free to go abroad, but can no longer claim country lacks facilities: Nadda

"Earlier, when meritorious students went abroad and were asked why they were going to London, they complained about the lack of facilities," he said.

Young doctors free to go abroad, but can no longer claim country lacks facilities: Nadda"Earlier, when meritorious students went abroad and were asked why they were going to London, they complained about the lack of facilities," he said.

Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda said medical aspirants are free to go overseas, but they must not say infrastructure is lacking in India. Young doctors can no longer complain about a lack of facilities in the country, Nadda said.

Addressing the 21st convocation ceremony of King George’s Medical University (KGMU) here, Nadda said, “Institutions are here, facilities are here, and infrastructure is also here. Make use of them.” The minister said the number of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the country has gone up to 23 under the current central dispensation.

“Earlier, when meritorious students went abroad and were asked why they were going to London, they complained about the lack of facilities,” he said.

“Today, I can say with pride that while there was just one AIIMS before, now there are 23 AIIMS under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Therefore, our students can no longer complain about a lack of facilities and infrastructure,” Nadda said.

“That is why I say policymakers do make a difference … Today, we are not only catering to the health services of India but the entire world,” he added. Nadda said the Ayushman Bharat scheme gives Rs 5 lakh health cover to over 62 crore people, making it the “world’s largest” such programme.

Addressing young doctors, Nadda said medical education or any other higher education is not a birthright, unlike school education, but is a privilege that very few get. “That is why you should acknowledge the privilege and give back what you owe to society. On average, Rs 35 lakh in expenditure is incurred on making a doctor,” he said.

The minister also praised young doctors who work for “36 hours straight” and urged them never to ask others for “certification” for their good work; instead, let “perseverance and job satisfaction” do the work. He called on the graduates to upgrade themselves with emerging technologies and work for humanity.

The convocation was presided over by Governor Anandiben Patel. Union Minister of State for Finance and Uttar Pradesh BJP president Pankaj Chaudhary, Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak and Minister of State Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh were among those who addressed the ceremony.

“KGMU is a place where working itself is a matter of good fortune. Through your skills, hard work and commitment, you have achieved what can be called making the impossible possible,” Nadda said.

He also congratulated KGMU for establishing itself in cornea, liver and kidney transplants.

“If I say that KGMU has not only served the nation but has served humanity across the world, it would not be an exaggeration,” Nadda said.

Patel, also the Chancellor of the university, said medical education is complete only when it is anchored in compassion, empathy, and a spirit of service, becoming a means for the welfare of humanity.

She said empathy towards patients, responsibility towards society and a sense of duty towards the nation form the true identity of a doctor. A physician does not merely administer medicine but also offers trust and emotional support, which can change the course of a patient’s life, she added. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, who holds the health portfolio in Uttar Pradesh, congratulated the students on receiving their degrees.
