FAIMA seeks stipend parity for Rajasthan FMGs

“Same work. Same responsibility. Equal stipend,” FAIMA said while urging the Rajasthan government, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and the state health minister to intervene in the matter.
FAIMA called for immediate action to address the concerns of FMG interns and ensure that they receive the stipend applicable to them.
The association said it “strongly stands” with FMG interns in Rajasthan and will continue to support their demand for fair treatment and dignity.
