Sub: Consider Ukrainian Medical students as war victim

Dear Sir,

National Medical Forum is deeply concerned about the atrocities incurred upon and the plight of the
thousands of medical students of Indian origins studying in Ukraine.

It is a matter of fact that due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, massive destruction
and loss of lives have occurred in all the cities of Ukraine leading to a wild exodus of Indian medical
students from that country. These students were not involved in the war but were residing in the war
zone and thus were at an extreme degree of risk of hostilities. In fact, the Indian students were without
food and were treated with hostility from both the warring factions.

To save them from death and destruction Indian Government transported or migrated them back to the
country. However, now they lost the opportunity to complete their education and fruitful employment.

By Geneva conventions resolution, these migrations were forced and as a result of the unfortunate
war between the two countries leading to a loss of fruitful employment and living opportunities for
these displaced students and thus these displaced and migrated students should be considered as
WAR VICTIMS.

National Medical Forum requests the Government to declare these forcefully migrated students as War
victims so that the community can help them accordingly.

Regards

Dr Prem Aggarwal
