With local universities expanding places for medicine and in a bid to maintain the quality of doctors here, the authorities have cut the number of approved overseas institutions from 160 to 103.
The last time the list of schools was reviewed by the Singapore Medical Council and the Ministry of Health was in 2009. Two schools were added while one - Delhi University's Maulana Azad Medical College - was removed. "Total annual intakes into our local medical schools have risen from about 300 in 2010 to about 500 in 2018 from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore, Duke-NUS Medical School and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at the Nanyang Technological University.
There will no longer be any medical schools from Israel, Italy, Norway, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the approved list, with the removal of schools like Tel Aviv University and the University of Oslo.
