Immigration Health Surcharge

Indian doctors working within the UK's state-funded National Health Service (NHS) have written to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to scrap an "unfair and discriminatory" surcharge imposed on foreign doctors, many of whom are working round the clock to combat the coronavirus pandemic that has infected over 9,500 people in the country.

UK-based Indian doctors and healthcare professionals are campaigning against what they describe as an "unfair" doubling of a health surcharge imposed on professionals from outside European Union (EU) living and working in Britain.
