Medical practice in India is possible only when a person is
given enrollment by a State Medical Council or the Medical Council of
India (MCI) on the basis of the medical qualification recognized under
the Indian Medical Council Act 1956. When an Indian citizen obtains
medical qualification from any medical institution in any country
outside India, which is recognized for enrolment as medical practitioner
in that country, he/she shall be entitled for enrollment on any medical
register maintained by a State Medical Council or to have his/her name
entered in the Indian Medical Register only after qualifying the
Screening Test prescribed for the purpose by the Medical Council of
India (MCI).
As per the information furnished by MCI, they have not conducted any
detailed survey about medical syllabi of foreign countries. However, in
the recent past the Central Government had sent delegations, which
included members from MCI, to China and Russia for assessing the
standard of medical education in those countries.
This information was given by the Minister for Health & Family
Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in written reply to a question in the
Rajya Sabha on 30th April
