The Swedish Medical Association today rejected a request to permit ten Jewish refugee doctors to practice in Sweden, proposing instead the raising of a fund to aid refugee physicians to emigrate overseas to countries where they can practice and another fund to maintain in Sweden elderly childless Jewish doctors. The association approved the practice of inviting refugee specialists to lecture at Swedish universities for a limited time.
