IMA Writes To PM Modi To Bring Back Medical Students Stranded In Ukraine

Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Friday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to evacuate medical students stranded in war-torn Ukraine. The medical body also asked the Centre to set up a special help desk for medical students.

In its letter to Modi, the IMA stated, “As you are aware, thousands of Indian students pursuing their medical studies are stranded in Ukraine. Most of them cannot afford the escalated costs of air travel. Even those affording cannot travel due to the adverse conditions there. Even the day-to-day rations are dwindling, creating severe hardships for their survival.”

“IMA is well aware of the various efforts taken by our Union government to get back Indian citizens. We sincerely and humbly appeal to your good self to give priority to our young students and bring them back as soon as possible,” the letter said.
