The letter claiming recognition of Avicenna International Medical University, Kyrgyzstan is fake
National Medical Commission in a circulated dated November 28 informed Indian students pursuing medical degrees in Kyrgyzstan that Avicenna International Medical University, Kyrgyzstan is not recognised by the medical education regulatory body and a letter claiming recognition of this medical college by NMC is fake.
"This is to inform all that a fake letter dated September 16 stating that "Avicenna International Medical University (Bishek) is recognised by National Medical Commission and Indian students can study here to become a doctor" is in circulation under the signature of Secretary, NMC and Under Secretary, NMC," the letter read.

The decision was taken in a meeting chaired by the Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on September 26 followed by another meeting with the Union Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar on October 7.
