Foreign medical graduates working in Telangana demand equal pay and recognition
Hundreds of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) working as interns/house surgeons across Telangana's government and private hospitals have raised concerns over persistent disparities in stipend, recognition and working conditions, despite shouldering equal responsibilities as their Indian-trained counterparts. The Telangana Junior Doctors Association (T-JUDA), in a formal representation submitted to the Director of Medical Education (DME), has called for urgent intervention to address what they term as 'systemic discrimination' against FMG house surgeons. The representation, made on behalf of FMG interns deployed across 34 government hospitals and several private institutions in the State, highlights how these medicos, who cleared the mandatory Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE), are being pushed to the margins despite their contribution to the State's healthcare system. 'Once certified, we are allotted internships by the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) based strictly on merit. We are posted in district hospitals, teaching institutions, and tertiary care centres where we carry out full clinical duties, including emergency care, ward management, and documentation. Yet, we are paid a stipend of ₹5,000 per month, the lowest among all medical interns in the State, and in several cases, even this amount is delayed for months or not disbursed at all,' said a FMG intern posted at a district hospital. 'This is far below the salary paid even to Class IV employees in hospitals. The disparity is not just financial but that of neglecting FMGs despite their service,' the intern added. A Government Order (GO) issued by the Telangana government in 2023 mandated a monthly stipend of ₹25,906 for MBBS interns working in both government and private medical colleges. This amount was revised to ₹29,792 through an updated GO issued on June 28, 2025. Dr. Issac Newton, President of T-JUDA pointed out that FMG interns are routinely deployed to manage critical responsibilities due to staff shortages. In some hospitals, they are expected to function at the level of Casualty Medical Officers (CMOs), handling emergency rooms and night shifts. 'They do equal work, but there is no equal recognition or pay,' he added. Another intern said 'Most FMGs, now in their late twenties, face financial and emotional stress. Many have taken large education loans to study abroad and return home with the hope of serving the public. The uncertainty and irregularity in stipends are adding to their mental strain, affecting both morale and performance.' Calling for urgent redressal, JUDA placed three specific demands before the DME. These include immediate inclusion of FMG interns under the revised house surgeon stipend structure, timely and equal disbursement of stipends across all government and private hospitals and formal recognition of FMGs as equal contributors to the healthcare workforce, in line with National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines.

Say Goodbye To Belly Fat With These Simple Exercises At Home
Want to lose belly fat without intense workouts? A fitness coach shares four simple home exercises that can help. These low-impact moves target your core and may give you visible results in just 21 days. Losing weight is already tough, but shedding belly fat is even harder. Many trying to get fit struggle the most with their midsection. Usually, we think that tough workouts like crunches or Russian twists are the only way to burn belly fat. But what if you could skip all of that and still get results? Wellness and fitness coach Daniel Leau recently shared a set of four simple exercises you can do at home to lose belly fat in just 21 days. And the best part? No running, jumping, or gym required. 'Worry about a big belly? Don't run or jump. Do this for a flatter belly," the coach says. Sounds too good to be true? Let's look at what he suggests. Check the video here. High Knee Claps This exercise is great for working the core. It may not reduce fat in just one spot, but it helps strengthen and tone your belly. How to do it: Raise one knee up toward your chest. While the knee is up, clap your hands under the raised leg. Then switch to the other leg. Repeat this 50 times. Go at your own pace, form is more important than speed. Side Crunch (Standing) This move helps target love handles and tones the sides of your abdomen. How to do it: Stand tall. Bring one elbow down to touch the knee on the same side. Then alternate sides. Do 25 reps on each side (50 total). Keep control as you lift your knee and avoid rushing. Cross Crunch This is the most challenging move in the set, but it is still manageable and worth it. How to do it: Try to touch your right elbow to your left knee, and then your left elbow to your right knee. Keep twisting and alternating sides. This works both the upper and lower abs, along with your obliques. Repeat the move 50 times. Normal High Knees This final move helps cool down while still working your belly. How to do it: Just raise your knees as high as you can, one at a time. Focus on your breathing and posture. Don't rush. This move gets your heart rate up and supports overall fat loss. Coach Daniel reminds everyone that consistency is key. Even simple exercises can bring big changes if done regularly. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
