Describing the move as “laudable,’ the Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA), which posted on X, formerly Twitter, said, “This is a much-needed initiative to address the burning issue of mental health amongst medical graduates and postgraduates. Wheels are turning, we will fight and defeat this demon of mental stress together!.”“It is a much stronger move by NMC to address the mental issues of the medical students and faculty. We appreciate the move,” said Dr. Rishiraj Sinha, National Secretary of the FAIMA Doctors Association.Dr. Rohan Krishnan, national chairman of the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), described it as a “good move.”“Many studies have shown that more than 85 percent of suicides among doctors are below the age of 35. So it will involve undergraduate and postgraduate students. The mental health of students is very important. But NMC should maintain anonymity.”Dr. Lakshya Mittal, national president of the United Doctors Front Association, said, “It is a great initiative to address the burning issue of mental health amongst medical UGs and PGs.”
