Releasing the guidelines for Intensive Care Unit Admission and Discharge Criteria, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has given a clear-cut definition on who is an "Intensivist" or Critical Care Specialist.
These guidelines, compiled by a total number of 24 experts and released by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) operative under the Union Health Ministry, specified that to be called an "Intensivist", a specialist needs to have a specific training, certification and experience in managing critically ill patients in an ICU.
