Therefore, we should think seriously about all those students. Keeping his personal view, the Health Minister TS Singhdeo further wrote that students in Ukraine for medical education would be happy if they were accommodated in all the medical colleges of the country according to a prescribed procedure. At present, there is a provision of screening test for the registration of Indian students who have completed their medical education from Ukraine and other countries.
