NMC notifies new code of conduct: Doctors can refuse to treat unruly patients, those patients who don't pay displayed fees
Over a year after putting its draft code of conduct in the public domain, the National Medical Commission (NMC), finally, through a gazette notification, has notified the NMC Registered Medical Practitioner (Professional Conduct) Regulations 2023. These regulations prescribe a code of ethics mandatorily to be adopted by every practitioner of modern medicine who is registered under the NMC Act and is practising in the country.
The National Medical Commission Registered Medical Practitioner RMP (Professional Conduct) Regulations, 2023 will replace the erstwhile Medical Council of India MCI’s Code of Medical Ethics 2002. These new regulations have been enforceable since August 2nd 2023, the date of its publication in the official gazette.
