NMC lacks record of 220-bed teaching hospitals: RTI
Although though the National Medical Commission's newly notified Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations 2025, recognised Non-teaching government hospitals with 220+ beds as teaching institutes, the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) of the Commission does not have any data available regarding the number of such institutes, the Commission revealed in response to a recent Right to Information (RTI).
The RTI was filed by Dr. Meet Ghonia, the National General Secretary of the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA). In the application, he pointed out that as per the said regulations, Non-Teaching Government Hospitals with 220 or more beds can now be designated as Teaching hospitals.
