India's Cancer Care Crisis: Experienced Doctors Barred from PMJAY Over Degree Drama!
Imagine this: India has a HUGE cancer problem, with 15 lakh new cases every year! But guess what? Hundreds of super experienced cancer doctors, who trained at top hospitals like Tata Memorial, are now being told they can't treat patients under the PMJAY scheme. Why? Because they have fellowships (hands-on training) instead of specific degrees like DM or MCh. This rule is making patients wait longer and lose access to life-saving treatment, especially in smaller cities. It's like telling a master chef they can't cook because they don't have a specific cooking school diploma, even if their food is amazing! This bureaucratic mess is putting lives at risk.
