In the UK, he noted, final year medical students have been told that they don't need to appear for the exam, and they will be given pass based on the past performance and they can get into the hospital system to fill the shortage.
Italy got 10,000 more doctors following the move to cut short the duration of MBBS by nine months, according to him.
COVID-19 battle can be only won by young doctors and young nurses. Its like a war, Shetty told PTI.
