Overview

Here is the top health news for today:

NMC Allows 30 percent faculty posts in 5 depts to be filled by Medical MSc, PhD degree holders

The National Medical Commission (NMC) Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations have allowed medical MSc, PhD degree holders to be appointed as faculty in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Microbiology departments.

This follows a 2020 change that reduced non-medical faculty appointments in these departments to 15%, with some departments like Microbiology and Pharmacology restricted to 0%. The 2025 regulations restore non-medical faculty appointments to 30% in these subjects.

The Apex Medical Commission recently released the final Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations, 2025, in the official Gazette on June 30, 2025, and laid down the eligibility qualifications of medical teachers at medical institutes.

Relaxing the existing norms for appointing non-medical faculty in medical colleges, NMC has specified in these new regulations that non-MBBS holders can teach in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Microbiology Departments in medical colleges if they possess a Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy Degree in the respective fields of Medical Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Physiology, Medical Pharmacology, and Medical Microbiology.

Amidst NMC inspection bribery scandal, demand for restructuring NMC intensifies

Amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the corruption case involving inspection-related malpractice in the medical education sector in India, the institutions have urged the Prime Minister of India (PMO) to ensure the strengthening of the National Medical Commission (NMC) for autonomous, transparent, and accountable medical education reform.

The Association of National Board Accredited Institutions (ANBAI) has urged PM Modi to restructure the Apex Medical Commission, use technology-based assessment methods, and align educational priorities with public health needs.

This representation comes after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) busted a systemic corruption racket in the medical education sector and booked 34 individuals, including officials from the Union Health Ministry and the National Medical Commission (NMC), for their alleged involvement in manipulating the regulatory framework for private medical colleges. Among those named in the FIR are eight officials from the Union Health Ministry, a National Health Authority officer, and five doctors from the NMC’s inspection team. Prominent private medical college figures have also been implicated.

NMC freezes all medical college approvals for 2025-26 - Report

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has frozen approvals for new medical colleges, seat increases, or renewals for the academic year 2025-2026, Mirror has reported. The decision reportedly follows the controversy that erupted over the NMC inspection bribery scandal involving fraudulent approvals being granted to medical colleges.

According to the CBI investigation, bribes were taken to grant approvals to medical colleges that lacked basic infrastructure, qualified faculty, and adequate patient care facilities. Amid this situation, NMC announced this decision aimed at restoring integrity in the medical education sector after the Central Bureau of Investigation conducted raids at 40 medical colleges across India.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported how CBI busted a systemic corruption racket in the medical education sector and booked 34 individuals, including officials from the Union Health Ministry and the National Medical Commission (NMC), for their alleged involvement in manipulating the regulatory framework for private medical colleges. Among those named in the FIR are eight officials from the Union Health Ministry, a National Health Authority officer, and five doctors from the NMC’s inspection team. Prominent private medical college figures have also been implicated.

Fake Prescriptions with Forged Doctor Signatures Used for PPP Test Referrals at RG Kar Hospital

A shocking scam has surfaced at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where fake prescriptions with the names of legitimate doctors and their signatures are being handed to patients, directing them to undergo diagnostic tests under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. An internal investigation has been launched to identify those behind the fraud.

The fake prescriptions closely resemble the original ones, including the use of the hospital's stamp, indicating possible malpractice and corruption within the system. Unfortunately, since patients were unaware of this, they proceeded with the prescribed tests.

The fraud was exposed after the authorities received several recent complaints from patients who were allegedly referred for tests such as digital X-rays and CT scans on prescriptions purportedly signed by doctors. However, when patients approached the doctors named in the prescriptions, they denied recommending such tests and issuing the prescription.

As these tests fall under the PPP model, the unidentified culprits appear to have earned a considerable commission through the scam. However, this is not yet confirmed as the investigation is in progress.
