Caesar's wife must be above suspicion
New Delhi: To avoid burning its hands on the fire of corruption, and to instill transparency in the new proposed medical regulator, the Parliamentary panel constituted to propose changes to the National Medical Commission Bill has clearly stated all the members of the proposed National Medical Commission will have to make full disclosures about the financial health on the NMC Website. These would range from professional and commercial involvements to their personal assets and assets of their dependents at the time of assuming office as well as the end of their tenure
The committee at the initiation of the report observed that the deteriorating standard of medical education and research in India, an acute shortage of health care providers, especially in rural areas and frequent allegations of fraudulent practices, corruption, and nepotism in the medical education system have led to an increasing criticism of the functioning of the MCI. The idea that the Medical Council of India has outlived its utility and must either be reformed or replaced has gained momentum. To avoid the same fate for the coming National Medical Commission in the long run, the committee recommended a way to instill transparency into the system by first ensuring that all members of NMC make full disclosures
