Govt plans bonds to stop doctors' brain drain

NEW DELHI: India has finally decided to cut down on brain drain that is crippling its medical sector.

Now, US-bound doctors for higher medical studies will have to sign a bond with the ministry and honour the document by returning home after finishing their courses.

Union health Ghulam Ghulam Nabi Azad said that the US is insisting on a government No Objection Certificate (NOC) for every student enrolling with an American institute from this academic session.
