HC to rule on NMC Decision: What will happen if respiratory medicine dept goes away from 706 medical colleges?
While considering the plea by the Indian Chest Society (ICS) challenging the National Medical Commission's (NMC) decision of eliminating the Respiratory Medicine Department from the MBBS curriculum, the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court recently sought to know from the NMC the rationale behind such decision.
During the proceedings, the HC bench comprising Justice Bharti Dangre and Justice Abhay Mantri noted the argument that if the subject is eliminated, it means that the teaching staff for these courses or the department of respiratory medicine setup for this purpose would also be unavailable at 706 medical colleges across the country, which in turn would affect the healthcare facilities and the treatment of ordinary citizens.
