Form 3-tier grievance redressal committees for students: NMC tells Medical Colleges, launches portal
New Delhi- The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued an advisory on the grievance redressal mechanism for medical students and stakeholders.
Through the public notice, NMC has informed that the authority has been receiving grievances from medical students, parents, and other stakeholders relating to various challenges they face during their academic and clinical training.
As per the public notice, the challenge may be related to charging of excess fee, delay in payment of stipend or non-payment of stipend, ragging/harassment, internship-related issues, faculty or college staff-related issues, disciplinary matters, health and safety concerns, academic issues viz., curriculum, attendance, teaching methods, examinations, assessment, etc. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dedicated Grievance Redressal Mechanism at various levels, providing stakeholders with a platform for addressing their grievances.
Most of these grievances can be resolved at the College or University level itself. If still unresolved, the same can be redressed by appropriate intervention of the DME/Health & Medical Education Department of the state concerned. If a grievance requires intervention at the NMC level, the same may be escalated to NMC for necessary resolution.
