Government Confirms India Producing a Surplus of Health Care Workers

In a press release issued on August 31, 2007, the Indian Government confirmed the fact that the country does not have a shortage of physicians and nurses, and in fact is producing well in excess of the actual number of nurses and physicians needed to supply the country's needs.

According to the release, information provided by the Medical Council of India (MCI) states that there are currently 683,682 registered doctors in the country. MCI further states that 30,922 physicians graduate from India ’s 269 medical colleges every year.

The release also provides statistics from the National Commission on Macroeconomic and Health regarding India ’s nurse workforce. According to these statistics, there are 1,597 Graduate Nursing Midwifery (GNM) Schools functioning in the country with an intake capacity of approximately 80,000 students per year.
