New Delhi: National Medical Commission ( NMC) is expected to soon become a reality with all the union government taking all the steps in the said direction.
Medical Dialogues team had recently reported that through a special ordinance, the government announced to set up 7 member committee to run the Medical Council of India till a bill which seeks to replace the body with a new commission . This indeed came as a surprise move to everyone, as the ministry had only just a few days ago directed the fresh elections of the Medical Council of India. The call for an election was a statutory requirement as the tenure of 80 of the 103 members was coming to an end in November/December.
However, soon after a notification was released by the Shri Amit Biswas, Under Secretary to the Government of India, which announced the withholding of the process of nomination election of MCI's members
