FUHSO Defends MBBS Accreditation Process Amid Student Protests

The Federation of University Health Sciences Organizations (FUHSO) publicly defended the medical school accreditation process after a wave of student protests. FUHSO argued that the accreditation standards—covering curriculum quality, faculty qualifications, clinical training, and infrastructure—are rigorously reviewed by independent expert panels to ensure consistent, high‑quality medical education. The organization said the protests stem from misinformation and isolated grievances, not systemic flaws, and pledged to address legitimate student concerns through transparent dialogue while maintaining the integrity of the accreditation system.
