CAG urges Himachal Pradesh Medical Council to maintain data on Doctors' license renewal
Altogether 2,779 doctors in Himachal Pradesh failed to renew their registration as of September 2022 and despite this, they did not face any action by the State Medical Council (SMC), revealed a recent report on the healthcare system by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).
The report highlighted that even though the Himachal Pradesh Medical Council Act, 2003 requires doctors practicing modern medicine to mandatorily register with the Council, not all the employed doctors in the State were registered with the Council. It also noted that no mechanism was adopted by the Council to track such non-registered employed/non-employed doctors.
