The Gujarat state health and family welfare department issued an official government resolution sanctioning a monthly stipend of 21,840 rupees for foreign medical graduates undergoing mandatory rotatory clinical internships across state-run medical colleges and affiliated civil hospitals. The policy enactment ends protracted uncertainty regarding financial parity, ensuring that foreign-trained doctors receive monthly compensation equivalent to their domestically educated medical counterparts.
The government directive applies to candidates who completed their undergraduate medical education at accredited foreign universities, cleared the National Board of Examinations screening test, and secured clinical internship seats through centralized state counselling. State medical education directors noted that equitable remuneration acknowledges the demanding clinical duties performed by intern doctors in managing heavy emergency patient caseloads.
Resident doctors’ associations and medical graduate federations celebrated the resolution as an important victory for fair compensation and professional dignity in healthcare delivery. Hospital administrators noted that the financial support will motivate hundreds of young doctors serving across district healthcare centers.
