MBBS Has Become the New in India The government keeps opening medical colleges one after another, but creates no new jobs. On paper the number of doctors is increasing, but on the ground the system is collapsing. 🔴 1. Seats increased, but the system wasn’t strengthened MBBS seats were expanded massively, but hospital posts and new positions were not created. 2. More focus on advertisements, not infrastructure New colleges are announced, but hospitals lack wards, beds, machines, manpower, and proper facilities. 3. Young doctors are unemployed , the government stays silent For the first time, even freshly graduated MBBS doctors are struggling to get a job. This is a direct failure of healthcare planning. 4. Population rising, doctor-patient ratio collapsing India’s population is exploding while the number of practicing doctors remains limited. Both citizens and doctors are suffering. 5. Workload increasing, safety and support missing Shortage of staff in government hospitals is putting unbearable pressure on doctors, with no security, no support, and no resources. 6. Opening colleges does NOT improve healthcare Building medical colleges is easy; providing quality training and post-MBBS employment is the real challenge the government has failed to address. 7. One Nation, One Exam ; but no ‘One Nation, One Job Policy’ Doctors face endless exams, inspections, and regulations, but when it comes to job creation, the government has no clear policy. #medtwitter

Tomorrow I’m going out on strike as a Resident Doctor in England. I don’t take that decision lightly. I became a doctor to look after patients, not to walk away from work. But right now, I’m watching A&Es overflow, ambulances queue outside hospitals, and patients treated in corridors even on non strike days; while doctors who want to work in A&E are competing 14 to 1 for training places, and around 5 to 1 in GP. 30,000 doctors applied for 10,000 training jobs this year; thousands of future Consultants and GPs turned away due to Government imposed caps on training jobs. Doctors are ready to step in. The system isn’t letting them. On top of that, after years of pay erosion, Wes Streeting has recommended a real tents pay cut for doctors for the next financial year. These factors in combination makes it harder for doctors to stay, to train, and to build a future in the NHS. Wes Streeting’s offer doesn’t change this. The headline 4,000 jobs he announced are a cannibalisation of existing locally employed doctor jobs, so the total number of doctors doesn’t increase at all as a result of his offer. There’s also nothing on pay, despite assurances we were on a ‘journey’ to pay restoration last year. The BMA offered to meet Wes Streeting as soon as the November strikes ended. He ignored the BMA for weeks. Instead, a last-minute rushed offer arrived from him with less than 24 hours to respond. The BMA put it to resident doctors. Nearly 30,000 of them said it wasn’t good enough. For me, this is about jobs and pay together. You can’t reduce waiting lists without training doctors, and you can’t keep doctors in the NHS while cutting their pay in real terms. Tomorrow, I’ll be standing shoulder to shoulder with Resident Doctors across England on the picket lines; not because we want to strike, but because we need a solution from Wes Streeting that’s actually credible. That still remains within the Government’s gift to deliver.

Sanaullah from Dawn News letting the Pakistani government have it at the post-budget briefing session: “An employee told me that he has a monthly salary of 45,000 PKR (USD 160) and doesn’t own a bike, car or house, but his Mobile SIM has been blocked for being an Income Tax non-filer. On the other hand - Chairman Federal Board of Revenue is seated here too - Dubai Leaks reveals scores of Pakistanis with unexplained properties, does anyone have the courage to ask any general, parliamentarian, or Mohsin Naqvi, that how have you come to acquire these properties? But you have blocked the Mobile SIM of a salaried worker who makes just 45,000 PKR a month. There are billions worth of unexplained property held by wealthy Pakistanis and I have learnt that you’ve been given a ‘Shut up Call’ and told not to make any inquiries. Now sir, people look at the actions of the political class. You have awarded government elites 5000 units of free electricity, 2000 units of free gas, cars & fuel facility, people see that you are not touching these. In fact, in the budget you have increased the funding of Parliament by 30%, you have increased the budget of the PM House, and you are putting an ever heavier burden on the people. You have said you have increased [public sector] salaries, and were giving the example of Habib Bank Pvt. Limited by way of advocacy whose security guards get only 20,000 PKR a month. And the media workers have not had a pay raise in 10 years. And most of them are given cash salaries by the media houses. Has the FBR inquired into this, that why are media workers in Pakistan paid in cash? Tax deductions are made and then not deposited with the FBR. You just talk. You don’t want to fix the system.”

"Medical Facts, Not Political Agendas: The Reality of Parathyroid Disease Treatment in Pakistan" Every patient has the right to seek treatment in any country they choose in order to access the best possible care. However, they should not resort to blatant misinformation to justify their decision. It is misleading and inaccurate to claim by Maryam Nawaz Sharif that parathyroid diseases are only treated in the USA and Switzerland. Parathyroid conditions such as hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism have treatment options available in many countries around the world, including UK, Pakistan, France, Germany, Australia, India, the UAE, Qatar and many others. Hyperparathyroidism, often caused by a parathyroid adenoma, is primarily treated with surgical removal. The associated bone diseases due to high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are managed with medications like Cinacalcet (Mimcipar) , Bisphosphonates, and Denosumab—all of which are available in Pakistan. Many tertiary and private hospitals in Pakistan perform parathyroidectomy, including Aga Khan University Hospital, Shifa International, Doctors Hospital, and Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre. Endocrine surgery is a common procedure in almost every major city in Pakistan. In the case of hypoparathyroidism, treatment typically involves calcium and vitamin D supplements, and for severe chronic cases, Teriparatide (a PTH analogue) is available in Pakistan for replacement therapy with the name "Forteo". The prevalence of parathyroid disease is around 1%. I am writing this fact check to correct the medical inaccuracies, as such disinformation can have serious consequences: 1. It can create hopelessness and despair among tens of thousands of patients with hyperparathyroidism in Pakistan, who are currently being successfully treated through endocrine surgery and medical management within the country. 2. It is a disrespect to the Pakistani medical community, which includes many renowned specialists in endocrine surgery and disease management. One such name is Professor Dr. Khawaja Azim, who served as the head of surgery at Mayo Hospital in 2009 during our times, and is now working at Shalimar Hospital in Lahore as "consultant endocrine surgeon". I am surprised that none of the UK-based journalists present there have rebutted this false statement. Pakistani political figures must verify the facts and be aware of the impact such statements can have on the healthcare system. Not every Pakistani has the means to travel to the USA or Switzerland for parathyroid treatment—and, more importantly, they do not need to, as the same high-quality treatments are available in Pakistan. I am surprised they included UK in this list of countries without parathyroid treatment. I am tagging UK parathyroid foundation Parathyroid UK and UK medical license body GMC for the correction. I hope Maryam Nawaz Sharif will recognize this error and take the necessary steps to correct it because the parathyroid disease affecting thousands of Pakistani patients is equally important, and medical facts are not the political ballot boxes that could be manipulated for personal agendas. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------- Moeed Pirzada @drfaranahmad

Left: Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer make the BMA doctors strike about pay Right: Susanna Reid, "More than half of year 2 doctors have no job to go to next month" Labour are pitting the public against doctors on the grounds of pay, when the strikes are about more than pay, they're about the lack of jobs for doctors In this case, it's a lack of jobs in hospitals. But it's also about a lack of GP jobs, because Wes Streeting has limited the ability of GP practices to hire more GPs (while giving them budgets to hire other staff) We have a shortage of hospital doctors, we have a shortage of GP doctors, and it is Labour policy under Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting has worsened this problem The worst part, Streeting and Starmer both using the rise in flu cases to suggest that strain in hospitals is the doctors fault But when you look at the data, there have been nearly 1,000,000 patients treated in corridors this year It didn't just happen overnight, Labour, like the Conservatives before them, continue to underfund the NHS And with at least 10% of the NHS budget goes to private contracts, instead of investing in the NHS, by using private services, Labour continue to spend more on private health services than on the NHS: how is it efficient to pay more for the same service? Sorry Labour voters, but if you go with the line it's all about pay, you're missing the bigger picture, and you're putting your loyalty towards Starmer and Streeting who are misrepresenting what's going on, and distrusting the very people who spend their entire lives looking after other people, doctors

People often say that we need immigration because without it, the NHS would collapse. This just is not true. At the moment, we're not training enough medics in this country - but this is a choice. We do not need to rely on staff from overseas. The NHS has a deeply unusual setup when it comes to its workforce. The Government sets the rules for who can qualify as a medical professional, decides how many medical training places to offer, and controls the flow of medical graduates into the NHS. It decides how much to charge students, and under what conditions. And because the NHS is by far the country's main employer of medical professionals, the Government also has effective control over the pay and conditions of those who qualify, and is responsible for deciding where medical trainees go, and when. So the Health Service isn't subject to the same labour market forces as other organisations. The Government controls both the supply *and* the demand of its own workforce. In 2025, we had 15,723 British-trained doctors competing for 12,833 NHS training posts. Those British-trained doctors had already been whittled down from the thousands of people who apply to train as doctors every year, of whom only half are accepted. Hundreds of those rejected each year have three A* grades at A Level. The reason that we don't offer more medical degrees is because, at the moment, the NHS doesn't have enough training places for British-trained doctors. But at the same time, under the current system, British-trained doctors aren't given priority when it comes to the training places that we *do* have. So not only were those 15,723 British-trained doctors competing with each other for just 12,833 training places, they were also competing with 25,257 doctors trained overseas. This is rubbish for those British doctors, and a colossal waste of money for the rest of us, because it costs taxpayers about a quarter of a million pounds to educate each doctor to the point of graduating. But perhaps this means the NHS gets the very best doctors? No. In fact, doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the GMC, the regulator responsible for maintaining standards in the medical profession. The GMC hears cases relating to professional misconduct and medical malpractice. Exchanging British-trained doctors for those trained overseas is not always a like-for-like swap. But here’s the craziest twist of all. The training places we do have are *randomly allocated*. No priority for British doctors, despite the fact we’ve paid to teach them. And no priority for the best graduates, despite the fact we need their skills. Top performing students have no choice over where they go, and aren't given priority when allocating new training places. They often have to wait months to find out where they're being posted, and will often receive very little notice before being asked to pick up sticks and relocate to another part of the country. Last summer, one of my constituents qualified as a doctor. He graduated with one of the very highest marks in the year, in the top three, from one of the most competitive medical schools in the country. He is clearly an outstanding student and will make an incredible doctor. In any sane system he would have been placed immediately, and been able to choose his location and specialism to keep him incentivised and happy within the NHS, and to make the most of his obviously considerable talents. Instead, because of the mismanagement of places and the lottery system, he wasn’t placed in the first round of allocations. He wasn’t placed in the second round. He wasn’t even placed in the third round, or even the fourth. With less than four weeks to go he still had no placement and no sense of where he would be spending the next few years of his life, including whether he might be able to live close to his partner, another doctor qualifying at the same time as him. He might not have got a training placement at all. Fortunately, the Government is looking to change the system, so that British-trained doctors are prioritised for training places. This is a great change. We need to train more medical professionals in this country, including doctors. The Health Service does not need to rely on overseas doctors - there is plenty of talent right here. But we also need a system which prizes excellence, and provides clarity for medical trainees. The most talented, British-trained graduate doctors should clearly get top priority, and should be able to operate within a system that makes it possible to plan their lives and build a career here. Both medical trainees and patients would benefit from such a system. The alternative is more talented British doctors going abroad, and more reliance on migration.

𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁: This video has two parts, and together they explain why so many doctors choose to leave Pakistan. Part 1 allegedly shows an ACP in Burewala, Punjab misbehaving with an on duty female doctor inside a hospital. Reportedly, she was being questioned about not ordering a CT scan, something that according to our understanding could only be ordered by a consultant, which she was not. What stood out even more was the arrogance, tone, and public humiliation. Calling an on duty female physician “Bibi” instead of “Dr Sahiba,” recording inside a crowded hospital with a mic attached, posturing like an interrogation officer, while patients stood nearby, is deeply inappropriate. It raises serious concerns about patient privacy, disruption of care, and abuse of authority. Unfortunately, this happens because many powerful officials in Pakistan, especially bureaucrats, behave as if they are above the law. In most civilized countries, such conduct by a government officer inside a hospital would likely end careers. Part 2 shows the complete opposite. In 2011, a senior surgeon at Guy's Hospital publicly confronted then UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy PM Nick Clegg for violating hospital hygiene rules during a photo opportunity. The surgeon spoke up despite their power because patient safety and professional standards came first. That is what happens in systems where doctors are respected and authority is held accountable. Compare these two incidents carefully, and you will understand that doctors do not leave Pakistan only for money. They leave for dignity, professional respect, safety, and integrity. #doctorsinpakistan #burewala #punjabgovernment #mbbs
