The British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO) clarifies that the NHS is not hiring 2,000 doctors from India as speculated. BAPIO aims to position India as a global medical talent hub, offering skill-building programs for MBBS graduates. Presently, only 140 doctors have been hired in junior and middle-level roles in the last three years. BAPIO emphasizes soft skills training for Indian doctors and plans to expand its footprint in India, offering more training centers. The program aims to equip doctors for UK roles, with potential benefits for global healthcare and India's medical sector.
