Supreme Court: “Medical Seats Should Not Go to Waste Amid Doctor shortage In Country”

The Supreme Court said that medical seats should not remain vacant when India is facing a shortage of doctors. This came while hearing petitions asking admission authorities to hold a special or stray counseling round for unfilled seats. These requests were made even after five rounds of counseling had already been completed. The court stressed the need to use all available resources to address the country’s healthcare challenges.
