The health ministry\u2019s plan to start a Rural MBBS course of three-and-a-half years to provide treatment in far-flung areas will create half baked professionals and will be discriminatory in nature, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) said Friday.
\n\u201cThis step would be discriminatory to both the people who get treatment from such half baked professionals and also to the medical students who take eight to 10 years to become specialist doctors,\u201d NHRC member P.C. Sharma said at a conference of state health secretaries.<\/p>\n

As rural areas are facing a severe shortage of doctors, the health ministry has plans to introduce the three-and-a-half years MBBS course, to replace the traditional five years course.<\/p>\n

The ministry believes that these doctors will provide treatment to millions at sub centres that operate under the primary healthcare centres across India.<\/p>\n

Sharma\u2019s comment came in a specific reference to the suggestion of having short-term training of persons for deployment in rural areas as doctors, in the health secretaries meet convened by the NHRC.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cPeople in rural areas are as much entitled to get treatment from fully qualified doctors as are (people) in the urban areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the meeting, several issues were discussed to improve overall healthcare in India, including illegal medical practice, spurious drugs and healthcare facilities in rural and tribal areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
