Gujarat: In past 3 years, 70% MBBS doctors under bond didn’t join govt duty

Out of 2,653 MBBS students who passed out from government-run medical colleges since 2020-21, 70% or 1,856 have not joined government-run facilities, said a response by the government in the state legislative assembly recently. These students get subsidized medical education and in return they have signed a bond to serve for one year in the government-run health facilities - primarily in rural or remote areas.
