Increasing medical colleges without quality training: a growing concern
Abstract:
India’s healthcare ambitions have led to a historic rise in the number of medical colleges and MBBS seats, expanding from 387 colleges in 2013–14 to over 808 in 2025–26, according to the Press Information Bureau [1]. While this expansion aims to correct the doctor-to-population imbalance, it has unintentionally created new challenges that threaten the quality of medical training.
