All Medical Colleges have to become Oxygen Safe in next 6 months: NMC
New Delhi: To ensure that medical colleges and hospitals are well equipped to deal with the pandemic situation such as recent times, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed that all medical colleges have to provision for the availability of round-clock-oxygen for critically ill patients.
For the same, NMC has made a new draft amendment to the Minimum requirements for Annual MBBS Admissions Regulation.
The Regulation was released last year by the apex medical regulator to bring in major reforms redefining the medical education sector. However, now considering the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding acute need for oxygen supply for critical patients and those requiring oxygen clinically, the provision to make oxygen supplies available in all the medical colleges has been implicatively made.
