Doctors urge DGHS to rectify NMC's disability guidelines, cite violation of SC orders
NMC's disability guidelines violate SC orders: Doctors move DGHS, seek urgent rectification
Highlighting the violation of Supreme Court Judgments on the disability guidelines for MBBS admissions, the doctors with disabilities have written to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), demanding an urgent rectification in the guidelines to avoid contempt of the Apex Court.
Previously, emphasising the need for an inclusive environment for individuals with disabilities in medical education, the Apex Court had issued directions to the National Medical Commission to formulate new disability guidelines for MBBS admissions.
Based on this, recently, the National Medical Commission (NMC) notified Interim Guidelines outlining the Assessment Method for admitting PwBD candidates to the MBBS course in the Academic Year 2025-2026.
