With the National Medical Council firm on its requirements for Indian medical students, several of them have been forced to go back to war-torn Ukraine to life amidst hardship and strife. The NMC’s guidelines state that Indian students studying abroad need to complete 54 months of on-site education, failing which the students will have to complete unpaid internships for a period of two years.
“We faced a lot of difficulties while coming back to India when the war started, but now we have been forced to come back. I have been living in Lviv and there is shelling at least once a week here. Life was so beautiful over here before the war started. Now, we have a curfew at 8 pm every day,” said Priya Dhankar, 25, who studies at the Lviv Medical College.
