    Philippines has announced a policy change that will significantly benefit Indian medical students pursuing their MBBS degrees. A recent amendment to the Philippine Medical Act of 1959 has been approved by the House of Representatives, paving the way for Indian students, including those from foreign, to register and practice medicine in the Philippines. This development comes after several years of persistent requests from India, recognising Philippines as a preferred destination for medical education.

    Philippines offers quality education at competitive costs, with tuition fees significantly lower than those in Western countries. The US-aligned
    curriculum ensures smooth transitions to international careers, supported by a strong network of globally recognised residency programmes.

    Under this new provision, Indian students who complete their Doctor of Medicine degree from a Philippine College of Medicine recognised by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), along with a 12-month internship, will be eligible to register and practice medicine in Philippines. The CHED will issue the necessary certification to facilitate this process, ensuring a smooth transition for Indian graduates.

    This provision is particularly beneficial for Indian medical students, who have been increasingly choosing the Philippines for their medical education due to factors such as the high quality of education, English as the medium of instruction and affordable living costs. The new regulations also align with the Indian Medical Commission's requirements for registration, allowing Indian graduates to practice medicine in India after obtaining their MD degrees from Philippines.

    With 64 duly authorised medical schools across the Philippines, Indian students now have an even more compelling reason to pursue their medical education in this country. The amendment not only enhances their academic and professional prospects but also strengthens the educational ties between India and Philippines.
