Will doctors be able to practice in multiple states? New rules on license transfer leaves medical fraternity confused

The recent announcement of the National Medical Commission to have a common National Medical Register that will have entries of all doctors practicing in the country has indeed been welcomed by the medical fraternity. The move, doctors have pointed out, will for the first time lead to a centralized register that will give us the actual count of doctors in the country, avoid duplication of entries and names, and also be a major dent on quackery by making relevant information of registered doctors available on public domain.

However, there are still some clauses of the recent notification that have left many doctors confused, especially on what will be status of their practice if they are working in multiple states and border areas. Doctors are now demanding the NMC give out a clarification on the matter leaving no doubt for any ambiguity, or even withdraw the regulations and take out a fresh one that is clear on the important silent aspects.
