Providing details regarding the number of available doctors in India, the Union Health Ministry recently told the Parliament that the National Medical Commission (NMC) data counted 13,86,157 registered doctors in India.

However, the number provided by the Ministry last year was also almost identical. In August last year, the Ministry informed the Lok Sabha that 13,86,136 doctors were available in India.

Therefore, if these two figures are compared, only 21 doctors were added to the country over the past year, even though around 80,000 doctors were graduated.
