The Indian government has taken a range of policy decisions to improve healthcare education. The recent decisions taken by the National Medical Commission (NMC) include:

• Implementation of a common final-year MBBS exam called National Exit Test (NEXT) to ensure standardisation of medical education across institutions.
• Allowing telemedicine for dispensation of medical education to distant/rural communities.
• Establishment of a common database of faculty members for medical institutions.
• Mandating a minimum of 50 hours of training on ethics and communication for medical students.
• The opening of new medical colleges across the country to increase access and reduce imbalances in healthcare education.

These policies aim to improve the quality of healthcare education, which is key to developing a skilled and competent healthcare workforce to cater to the needs of the country's growing population.
