Udhayanidhi Stalin, the Leader of the Opposition in Tamil Nadu, has written to Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, urging him to take immediate action to prevent the transfer of 152 vacant super-specialty medical seats to the All-India Quota (AIQ). This situation arose following a Supreme Court ruling on May 29, which came after the new government failed to argue effectively in a case initiated by a candidate named Tamilvani. Stalin emphasized that this transfer poses a significant threat to Tamil Nadu's public healthcare system, as only 63 of the 430 super-specialty seats were filled during counselling, leaving 152 vacant. He pointed out that reducing the minimum qualifying percentile could further exacerbate the issue, adversely affecting government doctors and the quality of advanced treatments available in state hospitals. He lamented the potential loss of rights established during the late Chief Minister Kalaignar's tenure, which had previously allowed for reservations for in-service doctors in super-specialty courses. Stalin's appeal highlights the critical implications for healthcare in Tamil Nadu if these seats are surrendered.
