New Delhi: After much-heated discussion, the Lok Sabha finally gave its nod to the Indian Medical Council (Amendment) Bill, 2019 that calls for the supersession of the Medical Council of India (MCI) by the Board of Governors
The Bill, moved by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, was passed by voice vote after a four-hour-long discussion. The house also negated the statutory resolutions moved by Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and RSP's N K Premchandran.
Replying to the debate, Harsh Vardhan said that the Bill would be radical reform in the country's medical education system and urged the members to pass the Bill as it was in public interest.
"The government's intention is honest. The Prime Minister has always focused to provide best health care system to the people. Ayushmaan scheme is one such example. Please rise above political lines to and ensure its passage," he said.
