The Gujarat government has announced a monthly stipend of Rs 21,840 for 350 MBBS interns who completed their studies abroad, aiming to retain talent within the state.
The state government of Gujarat has unveiled a new incentive scheme to retain medical talent. Under the plan, 350 MBBS interns who have completed their education overseas will receive a monthly stipend of Rs 21,840.
The move is part of Gujarat’s broader strategy to attract skilled doctors back to the state and address shortages in rural and underserved areas. The stipend will be paid for the duration of the interns’ residency period.
Health officials said the initiative will help reduce the outflow of doctors to other states and encourage them to serve in Gujarat’s public health system. The scheme is expected to be implemented in the coming months after final approval by the state cabinet.
