New Delhi: The process of full replacement of the Medical Council of India (MCI) with the National Medical Commission (NMC) is now in full flow.
A draw of lots will be held on October 14 to select members of the National Medical Commission (NMC) from the nominations sent by the state governments, UTs and State Medical Councils, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has informed
Once the NMC comes into being, the Medical Council of India will automatically get abolished. The president dissolved the MCI in 2018 and a Board of Governors was appointed to perform its functions.
The entire process of constituting the National Medical Commission will be transparent and mediapersons will be invited to participate to the lottery, Vardhan said.
The NMC Act, which seeks to usher in mega reforms in the medical education sector, received the assent of the president on August 8 and was published the same day.
The Act provides for setting up of an NMC in place of the Medical Council of India for development and regulation of all aspects of medical education, profession and institutions.
