New Delhi: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has opposed the launch of short-term bachelor medicine courses by the union ministry and has called for a meeting on Friday to discuss the issue.
The Union Health Ministry is thinking to introduce ‘Bachelor of Rural Medicine and Surgery’ (BRMS) course of three and half year duration for the students of rural areas to serve in the villages.
Talking about the issue NHRC member PC Sharma said, “By doing so (launching the course), government will itself be producing quacks.”
“We already have half-baked medical professionals in rural areas and if government also starts producing such half-baked doctors what will happen to the country?” he continued.
