FUHSO Defends MBBS Accreditation Process Amid Student Protests

The Federation of University Health Sciences Organizations (FUHSO) is defending the current MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) accreditation process after student protests. FUHSO argues that the accreditation standards, set by national medical councils and peer‑review panels, ensure consistent educational quality, patient safety, and graduate competence. It says the process includes regular curriculum audits, faculty qualifications checks, infrastructure assessments, and outcome‑based evaluations, and that any revisions will incorporate student feedback while maintaining rigorous benchmarks.
