London, Sept. 18 (PTI): A large number of Indian doctors have trained and worked in the UK over the decades. However, latest figures show that their numbers have dropped sharply.
A report released by the General Medical Council (GMC) today revealed that India continued to provide the largest number of overseas doctors, but the number has reduced considerably from a peak of 3,641 in 2004 to current levels of around 500 a year.
The greatest number of doctors joining the register came from Pakistan (550), India (489), Romania (449), Italy (386) and Greece (365).
