Safdarjung hosp third in Del to start DM in nephrology training
New Delhi: Vardhman Mahavir Medical College (VNMC) and Safdarjung Hospital have become Delhi's third institutions to start the Doctorate of Medicine (DM) in the nephrology training programme from the 2025 session. Previously, only AIIMS and RML Hospital offered this course. Dr Sandeep Bansal, the medical superintendent at Safdarjung Hospital, confirmed the allocation of three annual seats for DM in nephrology. "All three positions are being secured by candidates ranking within the top 10," he said. Principal of VNMC, Dr Geetika Khanna, expressed pride in launching this course. She emphasised the necessity of an additional workforce through postgraduate programmes, citing substantial patient numbers. Dr Himanshu Verma, who heads the nephrology department at Safdarjung Hospital, stated that approximately 6,000-7,000 kidney patients seek treatment at the hospital each month. India faces a significant shortage of nephrologists and dialysis specialists due to the increasing number of kidney-related health issues. Statistics indicate that 10% of Indians suffer from kidney-related conditions. The country has an expanding population of chronic kidney disease patients, with roughly 175,000 new end-stage renal disease cases annually. The nation incurs significant expenses for dialysis and transplant treatments. The govt's Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme assists financially challenged patients. Despite having excellent nephrologists and transplant surgeons, India requires more specialists to handle the increasing population of kidney patients, particularly considering the country's size. Qualified nephrologists are essential to reduce healthcare costs through early identification and prevention of kidney ailments.

Private medical colleges in Telangana credit ₹25,000 stipend, take back ₹20,000 in cash, allege MBBS students
Several MBBS interns in Telangana's private medical colleges have come forward with allegations of non-payment of stipends and systemic intimidation. Despite a 2023 government order mandating a monthly stipend of ₹25,906 for medical interns across both government and private colleges in the State, students say many private institutions are flouting the rule, paying as little as ₹2,000 per month or ₹5,000 in some cases. Speaking to The Hindu, interns from multiple private institutions detailed disturbing practices employed by the administrations to create an illusion of compliance. At Patnam Mahender Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, for instance, an intern alleged that ₹25,000 is credited to their bank account every month, only to be withdrawn and ₹20,000 returned to the college in cash. 'We are made to open specific bank accounts just for this purpose. It is all a show so they can claim compliance on paper,' said the intern. When students raised these concerns with the college management, they were told that while stipends could not be paid, the institution would waive bus and hostel fees instead. 'But even those promises remain only on paper,' the intern added. 'We work 36-hour to 40‑hour shifts, caring for real patients, often in inadequate facilities and instead of fair pay, we are being extorted and silenced,' said another intern. The issue, long festering under the surface, has recently gained momentum when interns from multiple colleges formed informal groups to protest and submit written representations to their college managements to escalate the matter. Another intern from Chalmeda Anand Rao Medical College in Karimnagar revealed that students receive just ₹2,000 as monthly stipend, and that too as a lumpsum after six months. 'We are sent on compulsory field visits to rural health centres but are not allowed to use our personal vehicles. The college insists we use their bus and then deducts the transport charges from our stipend. So, for two to three months, we end up getting only ₹500 or ₹1,000 as stipend,' the intern said. Fear of administrative backlash is silencing many students. 'If someone raises their voice individually, they are threatened with academic retaliation, blocking logbooks or delaying internship completion. That could make us ineligible for NEET-PG, so most remain silent,' he added. Another intern added that some colleges are allegedly hiding behind a 2003 government order that allowed colleges to collect a one-time 'stipend fee' of ₹5,000 per year. 'They are using a two-decade-old GO to justify this exploitation, even though multiple new GOs and NMC directives have since superseded it,' the intern added. The Hindu contacted both the private medical colleges for their comments on these charges, but there was no response.

Organ transplants hit by fund constraints and infrastructural deficiencies: report
A report released by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has revealed that the organ transplantation programme in the country has been crippled by multiple issues, especially insufficient funding, shortage of specialised doctors, and procedural delays. The report dated June 19, 2025, which followed a high-level meeting of senior health officials to review the status of organ transplantation activities in government hospitals and identify the key challenges, pointed to infrastructural deficiencies, especially shortage of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds and lack of financial support to patients who required lifelong medication that was expensive. Explaining the bottlenecks and other issues faced by State-owned institutions, the report said only 13,476 kidney transplants were performed, both in government and private hospitals, against the recommended 1 lakh cases last year. The capacity of government hospitals was not adequate to meet the target of organ transplants and creation of new centres were 'definitely' required. Infrastructural issues The report elaborated on the lack of facilities in government healthcare institutions, saying a significant number of government hospitals had reported the absence of dedicated infrastructure for organ retrieval and transplantation, including specialised transplant operation theatres (OTs) and dedicated Transplant Intensive Care Units (TICUs). Existing OTs and ICUs were frequently overburdened with general patient loads. A critical and frequently cited issue was the shortage of ICU beds, which were essential for maintaining potential brain-stem dead (BSD) donors and for post-operative care of recipients. In many trauma centres, beds were unavailable for potential donors due to high patient volume. Many institutions, including several All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), lacked in-house Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) cross-matching laboratory facilities. The dependency on external laboratories was causing significant delays and logistical challenges in the transplantation process. Several government hospitals had stated that their current facilities required substantial logistical and infrastructural upgrades to meet the standards necessary for performing complex transplant procedures. The report compiled by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation, which convened the meeting, said the shortage of specialised faculty coupled with frequent transfer of trained personnel, was disrupting the continuity and establishment of transplant programmes. A major bottleneck was the scarcity of dedicated and trained transplant surgeons, nephrologists, urologists, anaesthetists, neurosurgeons/neurologists and intensivists within the government hospitals. Experts representing various government institutions in different States flagged issues relating to delays in obtaining formal approval and constitution of the BSD Committees, which was essential to initiate deceased organ donation programme. The handling of medico-legal cases, particularly involving trauma patients who represented the largest pool of potential donors, was often cumbersome and lacked a streamlined process, thereby discouraging organ donation. Burden on patients On the paucity of funds, the report said some hospitals had reported inadequate funds to initiate or restart specialised transplant programs, such as lung transplantation, which necessitated expensive equipment and preservatives. A significant concern was the high cost of immunosuppressant drugs, which patients must take for life. The financial support available under current schemes was often limited to the first year, imposing a substantial burden on patients thereafter. It was highlighted that there were no formal incentives for transplant and organ donation teams (surgeons, nurses, coordinators etc) on a case-by-case basis. Such incentives could motivate them to increase the number of transplants. The non-inclusion of liver and heart transplantation and the associated lifelong follow-up costs in major Central health schemes like Ayushman Bharat were identified as significant barriers for underprivileged patients The report 'strongly recommended that liver and heart transplantation, including the lifelong cost of immunosuppressants for post-transplant recipients, be comprehensively included under the central Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana [AB-PMJAY] scheme'.
