Bite-Sized Tour of 2 of the Safest MBBS Abroad Prospects
Given the current volatile situation prevailing in the world thanks to the Ukraine Russia conflict, many prospects like these 2 nations are unsafe and closed for medical aspirants. In such a case, many are confused over where to head for MBBS abroad.
This post highlights 2 such prospects that often flew under the radar when Russia and Ukraine were thriving MBBS Abroad destinations. In doing so, it shall give a brief tour of both Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as, how good the quality of MBBS is in both countries.
MBBS in Kazakhstan
For many Indian and other medical aspirants, Kazakhstan is the go-to destination for top-notch education at an affordable rate. The Ukraine Russia Conflict has now brought this golden prospect to the forefront.
First and foremost, students enrolling here are taught all the important medical disciplines like -
- General Medicine
- Dentistry
- Surgery
- Psychiatry
- Neurology
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Ethics
- Medical Law, and a whole lot more subjects.
It’s the focus on conceptual subjects as well as related disciplines that are important for better functioning in a real-life setting (eg. Laws and Ethics) that makes Kazakhstan a better prospect than Kyrgyzstan.
Apart from this, students will have ample opportunities to test their knowledge practically in state-of-the-art laboratories and research centers. This is nicely accompanied by clinical internships and clerkships in renowned hospitals here and abroad.
Moreover, an MBBS in Kazakhstan will cost you only around INR 14-18 Lakh for the entire program.
MBBS in Kyrgyzstan
Another prospect coming into the limelight is Kyrgyzstan, which is an equally safe and genuine prospect as Kazakhstan.
Budget-wise, fee in Kyrgyz medical colleges ranges between INR 15-20 Lakh. This includes the tuition, accommodation, and all other charges levied throughout the program. No donations/capitation fees are needed! (same as Kazakhstan)
Though the focus on related disciplines is less here, one can expect world-class academics, pedagogy, and research facilities that house all the modern and high-tech medical equipment for the students. This means that students build a sound foundational knowledge through classroom learning, through innovative pedagogy and interaction (thanks to the experienced faculty).
All this knowledge can further be tested and applied in well-stacked and high-tech laboratories; this is only accentuated by efficient training in a real hospital setting as part of internships and clerkships.
What makes this prospect better is that the Government of Kyrgyzstan is in the process of making the 5-year MBBS in Kyrgyzstan courses 5.8 years long, to fit the NMC Gazette guidelines. Nothing as such is happening in Kazakhstan.
All in all, both nations are promising prospects for Indian medical aspirants who were sort of lost after destinations like Russia and Ukraine became off-limits. Both these countries guarantee quality medical education at par with Russia and Ukraine, at a lesser price.
The MBBS abroad colleges of both countries are accredited and recognized by the WHO, NMC/MCI, FAIMER, ECFMG, USMLE, and the medical councils of several other countries. Thus, when it comes to safety and genuineness, both Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are the best options for Indian medical aspirants, currently!
