Well, I am not too worried abt our docs going out, because of our billion plus population. :)
Anyway, the family doc system is thriving here. A doctor at every corner, thats what we have! Surfeit of them in the cities. The problem is in the villages. You see, docs want to make money so they avoid the villages. we city people have no problem really. The problem in India is the attitude of doctors. They are so money minded, it sucks.
The govt. medical schools (which are also considered the best) make it compulsory for its graduates to serve for a certain period in the villages (subsidized education) but people get around it. My cousin went and met the minister and lo behold, her daughter got exempted from it!
One good thing abt medical education here is the practice the trainee docs get. So many people!
