FORDA calls Doctors to protest against appointment of Non-Medicos as medical faculty

FORDA has requested the National Medical Commission not to allow MSc students join pre & paraclinical medical colleges as “Faculty”. It further stated that there is already a lot of competition, less number of seats, contractual posts and now 30% seats for outsiders, therefore. such provisions will create unavailability of posts for doctors.
