FUHSO Defends MBBS Accreditation Process Amid Student Protests

The Federation of University Health Sciences Organizations (FUHSO) issued a statement defending the current MBBS accreditation process after student protests at several medical colleges. FUHSO argued that the accreditation standards—covering curriculum quality, faculty qualifications, infrastructure, and clinical training—are aligned with national medical council guidelines and international best practices. It said the process includes regular peer reviews, site inspections and data‑driven assessments to ensure consistent educational quality. The federation urged students to engage through formal channels, noting that any revisions to accreditation criteria must follow a rigorous, evidence‑based procedure to maintain the credibility of medical degrees.
