New Delhi: After handing over the entire functioning of the apex medical regulator, the Medical Council of India (MCI) to a 7 member Board of Governors, the government is now aiming to provide the BOG with more assistance to enable them function in a smooth manner.
The assistance comes in the form of the Union Health Ministry creating a group of expert faculty that is going to assist the MCI BOG in the assessment of Medical Colleges for fresh registration as well as renewal of licences. A confirmation to this effect was made by a senior health ministry official to Hindustan Times, who added that the Ministry is inviting deans of government medical colleges across the country, to shortlist at least a couple of senior faculty members, who are well-versed with the functioning of the medical regulator.
