What happened
The High Court ordered the Andhra Pradesh government to address concerns raised by doctors. The government subsequently issued a Government Order setting the annual stipend hike for medical students at 3.5% starting January 1, 2027. For the current year, the order provides a 10% enhancement for MBBS and BDS interns and 5% for postgraduate students.

Why it matters
The order resolves a dispute that began when doctors opposed the government's initial proposal for a 3% annual hike. The new terms increase the annual increase for postgraduates and raise the current year's enhancement for postgraduates above the previous offer.
