Fewer Junior Doctors Quit AIIMS Delhi in 2025, but Resignations Remain a Concern
Published
The number of junior resident doctors leaving India's premier medical institutes has changed, according to a recent report in The Times of India. At AIIMS Delhi, one of the country's most respected medical colleges, 34 junior resident doctors resigned in 2025. In 2024, 60 doctors left, so the figure fell by about 43 per cent.
Junior residents are postgraduate doctors who train in hospitals while they work with patients. They play an important role in running large government hospitals, where they care for many patients every day. For this reason, changes in the number of doctors who leave or join these programmes can affect hospital services and the training of future specialists.
The report also says that the number of residents joining these institutions has changed. The available information does not give full details about this trend, so it is not yet clear how the two changes are connected. The article does not explain the reasons behind the resignations, either.
The drop in resignations at AIIMS Delhi is a noticeable change from the previous year. However, the number of doctors leaving remains an issue that officials and medical educators may need to monitor. Further reports and official data will help show whether this trend continues in the coming years.
